Template:R:Quinion Ballyhoo/documentation

Usage

This template may be used in "References" and "Further reading" sections, and on talk pages, to cite Michael Quinion's Ballyhoo, Buckaroo, and Spuds: Ingenious Tales of Words and Their Origins (2004).

Parameters

The template takes the following optional parameters:

• |1= or |entry= – the entry in the work to be cited. If this parameter is omitted, the template uses the name of the Wiktionary entry.
• |2=, |page= or |pages= – the page number(s) of the work cited. Use |pages= to specify a range of pages, separating the first and last page numbers of the range with an en dash like this: |pages=110–111.
• |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the work.
• |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.

Examples

  • {{R:Quinion Ballyhoo}} (assuming it is used in the entry ballyhoo); or
