Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Walter Scott's work The Lady of the Lake (1st edition, 1810). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |canto= – the canto number quoted from in Roman numerals; the template automatically supplies the name of the canto. This parameter can be omitted if the page number is specified.
• |2= or |stanza= – mandatory: the stanza number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals. This starts from I in each canto.
• |note= – if quoting from one of the notes, the note number in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals (in the notes), as the case may be. 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 or |page=x–xi.
  • You must also use |pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

You must specify this information to have the template determine the canto or note number (I–VI) quoted from, and to 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.
