Parameters

|1=

The title of the book. Needs to be provided in exactly the same way how it is presented on Belarusian Wikisource (e.g. Прынц і жабрак (1940) or Домбі і сын).

|2=

The Belarusian text from the book.

|3=

The English translation of the Belarusian text. This translation is done by Wiktionary editors, unless origtext is available and already represents a perfectly accurate match for the Belarusian text.

|origtext=

If the Belarusian book is a translation of an older English book, then this parameter is used to provide the original English text from the English edition of the book.

|page=

Page number in the paper edition of the Belarusian book.

Operation

This template automatically adds the omitted bibliographic information (e.g. the year of the publication, the author, etc.) and passes it to Template:quote-book.

If the book is not a part of the supported set of books, then the book needs to be added to it. Check Module:RQ:be:s for all the necessary instructions.
