Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Thomas Babington Macaulay's entry on Oliver Goldsmith in the Encyclopædia Britannica as it appears in The Miscellaneous Writings and Speeches of Lord Macaulay (new edition, 1871). 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 |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
    • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=362–363.
    • You must also use |pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
You must specify this information to have the template link to the online version of the work.
  • |2=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted from the work.
  • |footer= – a comment about 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.
