Parameters
[edit]The template takes the following parameters:
|1=or|title=– mandatory: the title quoted from. If quoting from one of the titles indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:
| Parameter value | Result | First page number |
|---|---|---|
| Dedication | To the King (by Mary Stephens; 1734) | page [i] |
| Life | An Account of the Life of the Lord Bacon (author currently unknown; 1734) | page ix |
| Preface | Preface (by Robert Stephens; 1734) | page iii |
| Valerius Terminus | Valerius Terminus: Of the Interpretation of Nature; with the Annotations of Hermes Stella (written in 1603) | page 398 |
|chapter=and|chaptername=– if a title is divided into chapters, use|chapter=to specify the chapter number in uppercase Roman numerals and|chaptername=to specify the name of the chapter.|date=, or (|month=and)|year=– if the date of a title (for example, a letter) quoted from is known, use|date=to specify it in the format13 January 1616orJanuary 13, 1616. The date will be converted from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. If only month and year, or year alone, of the title is known, use|month=and|year=to specify this information.|2=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. - 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).
- Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this:
- This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.
|3=,|text=, or|passage=– a passage quoted from the work.|footer=– a comment on the passage quoted.|brackets=– use|brackets=onto 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.
