Usage

[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from a collection of Oliver Goldsmith's essays (originally published in the magazine The Bee) entitled The Bee, a Select Collection of Essays, on the Most Interesting and Entertaining Subjects (new edition, c. 1790); the 1st edition (London: [] J[ohn] Wilkie, [], 1759; →OCLC) is not currently available online. The template can be used to create a link to an online version of the work (contents) at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1=, |chapter=, or |title=mandatory: the title of the essay quoted from.
  • |date= – the date according to the Julian calendar when the essay was published, as indicated in the work, like this: |date=6 October 1759. The template will convert the date to one according to the Gregorian calendar.
  • |issue= – the issue number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. 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 indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.
  • |3=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
  • |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
  • |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.
