Usage

This template may be used in "References" and "Further reading" sections and on talk pages to format quotations from Walter William Skeat's work An Etymological Dictionary of the English Language (4th edition, 1910). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1= or |entry= – the entry or headword in the work to be quoted from. If this parameter is omitted, the template uses the name of the Wiktionary entry. By default, the entry is displayed in all uppercase letters, following the format in the work. To format the entry differently using Wikitext, specify |noformat=yes.
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: 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 Wiktionary entry appears).
This parameter must be specified for the template to link automatically to the online version of the work.
  • |column= or |columns= – the column number(s) to be quoted from in Arabic numerals, either |column=1 or |column=2. When referring to a passage that spans both columns, use an en dash like this: |columns=1–2.
  • |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.
