This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

Usage

[edit]

This template can be used to indicate quotations from P. G. Wodehouse's work The Pothunters (1925); the 1st edition (London: Adam & Charles Black, 1902; →OCLC) is not currently available online. The template can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

(This version of the work is missing pages 210 and 211. Replace it with a better version if one becomes available.)

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from.
  • |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.

Pages 210 and 211 are missing.

  • |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.
