Where a specific quotation template exists (for example, {{RQ:Sandys Psalmes}}), use it instead of this template.

Parameters[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |volume= – the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=I or |volume=II. This parameter may be omitted if the page quoted from is specified.
  • |1=, |chapter=, or |title=mandatory: the name of the chapter or title quoted from. If quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:
The Poetical Works of George Sandys
Parameter value Result First page number
Job A Paraphrase upon Job (1638) page 1
Psalms A Paraphrase upon the Psalms of David. [] (1636) page 79
Song of Solomon A Paraphrase upon the Song of Solomon (1641) page 335
  • |book=, |canto=, or |subchapter= or |subtitle= – the book or canto number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, or the name of the subchapter or subtitle quoted from.
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
    • Separate the first and last page number 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 determine the volume number (I or II) quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.
  • |3=, |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.
