Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from George Orwell's work Animal Farm (1962 version; and 2008 Project Gutenberg Australia version); the 1st edition (London: Secker & Warburg, 1945; →OCLC) is not currently available online. The template can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive and Project Gutenberg Australia:

• 1962 version.
• Project Gutenberg Australia version (2008).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |format= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 2008 Project Gutenberg Australia version of the work, specify |format=PGA. If this parameter is omitted, the template links to the 1962 version.
• |1= or |chapter= – the chapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals. If quoting from the 1962 version, this parameter may be omitted if the page number is specified.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1962 version, the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number 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 determine the chapter number (I–X) quoted from, and to 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.
