Usage

This template may be used in "References" and "Further reading" sections, and on talk pages, to create a link to The Dictionary of the Scots Language (DSL).

A guide to abbreviations and symbols used in the Dictionary can be found here.

Parameters

  • |1= or |entry= – the name of the entry in the DSL. If this parameter is not stated, the name of the Wiktionary entry is used.
  • |2=, |pos=, or |part of speech= – the part of speech of the entry. By default, the template italicizes the value assigned to the parameter and adds a full stop (period) to the end. To turn off the default formatting for the purpose of specifying a different formatting using wikitext markup and templates, specify |noformat=1 or |noformat=yes: see the example below.
  • |url= – if the default URL is not linking to the correct webpage, use this parameter to indicate the URL of the DSL webpage to be linked to.
  • |subentry= – a term that appears as a subentry under an entry.
  • |subpos= – the part of speech of the subentry.
  • |accessdate= – The date on which the DSL was accessed. Use either of these date formats: 1 January 2017 or January 1, 2017.
  • |source= – use this parameter to indicate the source relied on by the DSL, as follows:
  • |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the DSL.
  • |nodot= – by default, the template adds a full stop (period) at the end of the citation. To suppress this punctuation, use |nodot=1 or |nodot=yes.
