Template:RQ:Tanach/documentation
This template cites the Hebrew Tanach as a source of a quotation. It links the Hebrew reference to Hebrew Wikisource. For supported JPS editions, it also links the specified English translation on Sefaria.
Usage
[edit]Use the full English book name, an approved abbreviation, or a compatibility numeric code:
{{RQ:Tanach|Genesis|2|3–4|tsrc=JPS1917
|passage=...
|translation=...}}
Parameters
[edit]|1=- Required. The book, using an exact full English name, approved abbreviation, or documented numeric code from the table below. Inputs are case-sensitive. Unlisted abbreviations, dotted forms, Roman-numeral forms, Hebrew names, and alternative titles are not accepted.
|2=- Required. A positive integer within the selected book.
|3=- Optional. A verse number or range. A single verse links to its Hebrew Wikisource anchor. Simple verse ranges also form part of a Sefaria link; more complex verse displays are preserved but are not linked to Sefaria.
|lang=- Optional. Use
|lang=arcwhen the quoted passage is Aramaic. The default is Hebrew. |tsrc=- Optional. The source of the supplied English translation; see #Translation sources.
|text=or|passage=- The quotation text.
|t=or|translation=- A translation of the quotation text.
|tr=or|transliteration=- A transliteration of the quotation text.
|lit=- A literal translation.

For compatibility, free-form source text is still accepted. Values resembling an invalid JPS tag produce an error rather than being treated as free text.
Deprecated ambiguous JPS value
[edit]|tsrc=JPS is deprecated but remains accepted; it does not identify which JPS translation supplied the quotation. It therefore does not generate a version-specific Sefaria link. Pages using it are tracked through Wiktionary:Tracking/RQ:Tanach/tsrc/JPS, and editors see a preview-only warning asking them to verify the translation and replace it with JPS1917, JPS1985, or JPS2023.
Do not replace JPS mechanically: first compare the supplied English text with the editions.
Historical translation-source parameters
[edit]To keep historical revisions readable, the template continues to recognize older calls that place a translation-source tag in |t= or |tr=. This usage is deprecated, tracked, and accompanied by a preview-only warning. In current calls, put the translation edition in |tsrc=; |t= and |tr= have their standard meanings of translation and transliteration.
