Usage

[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote H. G. Wells's work Tono-Bungay (1st collected edition, 1908). It 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 |book= – the book number quoted from in Arabic numerals, from |book=1 to |book=4. This parameter may be omitted if the page number is specified.
  • |2= or |chapter= – the chapter number quoted from in Arabic numerals. The chapter numbers start from 1 in each book. The template will automatically determine the chapter name from the chapter number specified. This parameter may be omitted if the page number is specified.
  • |section= – each chapter is divided into sections numbered with Roman numerals. Use this parameter to specify the section quoted from.
  • |3= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory: 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 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 determine the book number (1st–4th) and the name of the chapter quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
  • |4=, |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.
