Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Charles Darwin's work On the Origin of Species (1st edition, 1859; 4th edition, 1866; 5th edition, 1869; and 6th edition, 1872). 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:

  • |edition= – if quoting from the 4th, 5th, or 6th edition, specify |edition=4th, |edition=5th, or |edition=6th, respectively.
  • |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) 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=10–11.
    • 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 to have the template determine the name of the chapter quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
  • |2=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
  • |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
  • |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, “some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell”) rather than an actual use of it (for example, “we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset”), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
