This template may be used in "References" and "Further reading" sections and on talk pages to cite various editions of John Camden Hotten's work A Dictionary of Modern Slang. It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work:

• 1st edition, 1859 (Google Books).
• 2nd edition, 1860 (Google Books).
• 5th edition, 1874 (Internet Archive).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |edition= – the template defaults to the 1st edition (1859) of the work. To cite the 2nd edition (1860), use |edition=2nd. To cite the 5th edition (1874), use |edition=5th.
• |1= or |entry= – the entry in the work quoted. If this is not specified, the template uses the name of the Wiktionary entry.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page or range of pages quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=110–111.
  • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the entry appears).

This parameter must be specified for the template to link automatically to an online version of the work.

• |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted from the work.
• |nodot= – by default, the template adds a full stop (period) at the end of the citation. To suppress this punctuation, use |nodot=1 or |nodot=yes.
