Usage

[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Lionel Giles's translation of Sun Tzu's work The Art of War, entitled Sun Tzŭ on the Art of War (1910). The template can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter of the work quoted from. If quoting from the preface or introduction, use |chapter=Preface or |chapter=Introduction.
  • |section= – the introduction is divided into sections. Use this parameter to specify the section name.
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting from the preface or introduction, specify the page number(s) in uppercase Roman numerals, as in the work. 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=110–111 or |pages=X–XI.
    • 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).
You must specify this information to have the template link to the online version of the work.
  • |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted from the work.
  • |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.
