The templates {{R:SOED}}
, {{R:SOED3}}
, {{R:SOED5}}
, and {{R:SOED6}}
can be used in the "References" and "Further reading" sections of an entry, or on talk pages, to provide a citation to the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 6th editions of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary (2 volumes). {{R:SOED3}}
, {{R:SOED5}}
, and {{R:SOED6}}
cite the third, fifth, and sixth editions respectively.
The template takes the following parameters:
|1=
or |entry=
– the entry in the Dictionary cited. If not specified, the name of the Wiktionary entry is used.|edition=
– mandatory in some cases: if this parameter is not specified, the template assumes that the 1st edition of the Dictionary (1933) is being cited. To specify a different edition, type one of the following:
|2=
or |volume=
– the volume of the Dictionary cited in Roman numerals: either |volume=I
or |volume=II
.|3=
, |page=
or |pages=
– the page(s) of the Dictionary on which the entry appears. If citing a range of pages, separate the first and last page numbers of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=110–111
.|column=
or |columns=
– the column number(s) of the Dictionary cited. If using |columns=
to cite a range of columns, separate the first and last column numbers of the range with an en dash.|4=
, |text=
, or |passage=
– a passage quoted from the Dictionary.|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
.{{R:SOED|volume=I|page=1}}
(assuming the template is used at A to Z) or {{R:SOED|entry=A to Z|volume=I|page=1}}
{{R:SOED|edition=5th|volume=I|page=1}}
(assuming the template is used at A to Z) or {{R:SOED|entry=A to Z|edition=5th|volume=I|page=1}}
The shortcuts {{R:SOED3}}
, {{R:SOED5}}
, and {{R:SOED6}}
may respectively be used to cite the 3rd, 5th, and 6th editions of the Dictionary, like this:
{{R:SOED5|entry=A to Z|volume=I|page=1}}
