Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |lang= – mandatory in some cases: if using this template in a Latin entry to quote from one of Skelton's Latin works, specify |lang=la. If this parameter is omitted, the template assumes that an English work is quoted from.
  • |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=I or |volume=II.
  • |2=, |chapter=, or |poem= – mandatory: the name of the chapter or poem quoted from. If quoting from one of the works indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

  • |subchapter= – the name of a subchapter quoted from.
  • |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, 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 |pages=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 link to an online version of the work.
  • |line= or |lines= – the line number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of lines, separate the first and last numbers of the range with an en dash, like this: |lines=10–11.
  • |4=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
  • |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
  • |5=, |t=, or |translation= – a translation of the passage into contemporary English.
  • |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.
