Placement of the quoted word

[edit]

The template currently does not place the word referenced at the very left, unlike what is most customary in English Wiktionary reference templates.

The template has now been protected so I cannot edit the template. I consider that to be an unfair move by the ornamental clique. --Dan Polansky (talk) 19:08, 29 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

I have fixed the entry placement. — SGconlaw (talk) 19:35, 29 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
Thank you at least for that. --Dan Polansky (talk) 19:46, 29 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Produced display

[edit]

The currently produced displayed is this:

“R:SOED5” in Lesley Brown, editor, The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, 5th edition, Oxford: Oxford University Press, →ISBN.

I've seen much worse from the same template editor, but frankly, the following would be entirely sufficient, especially given there is the ISBN link that leads to sites providing great detail, including e.g. this[1]:

R:SOED5 in The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, 5th edition, 2002, →ISBN.
