Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Mary Shelley's work Frankenstein (1st edition, 1818, 3 volumes; and 3rd edition, 1831, 1 volume). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the HathiTrust Digital Library:

• 1st edition (1818):
  • Volume I (archived at the Internet Archive).
  • Volume II (archived at the Internet Archive).
  • Volume III (archived at the Internet Archive).
• 3rd edition (1831) (archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |edition= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 3rd edition, specify |edition=3rd.
• |1= or |volume= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1st edition, specify the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=III.
• |2= or |chapter= – the chapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals. In the 1st edition, the chapter numbers begin from I in each volume. This parameter may be omitted if the page number is specified and the page does not contain two chapters (this only occurs in the 3rd edition).
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
  • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.

• |4=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
• |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, “some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell”) rather than an actual use of it (for example, “we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset”), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
