Parameters
This template can be used in two ways.
Quoting directly from the Dictionary
The template takes the following parameters:
- 1st edition (1884–1928)
|2=or|volume=– mandatory: the volume of the Dictionary in which the entry appears in uppercase Roman numerals, from|volume=Ito|volume=X.|part=– mandatory in some cases: volumes VI, VIII, IX, and X are each divided into two parts. Use this parameter to specify either|part=1or|part=2.|3=or|page=, or|pages=– the page number(s) of the Dictionary on which the entry appears. 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=10–11. - 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).
- Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this:
- This parameter must be specified to have the template link to an online version of the work.
- Supplement and Bibliography volume (1933)
|2=or|volume=– mandatory if quoting from the Supplement and Bibliography volume, specify|volume=Supplement.|3=or|page=, or|pages=– the page number(s) of the Dictionary on which the entry appears. When quoting a range of pages, separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this:|pages=10–11.|pageref=– as the webpage pagination of the version of the work currently available at the Internet Archive is erratic, the template is unable to automatically determine the webpage to link to. Thus, you must use|pageref=to specify the Internet Archive "page" to be linked to. For example, if the URL ishttps://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.120834/page/n10/mode/1up, specify|pageref=10. This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.
- Both versions
|main=– mandatory: specify|main=1or|main=yes.|1=or|entry=– the entry in the Dictionary cited. If not specified, the name of the Wiktionary entry is used.|part of speech=or|pos=– the part of speech of the entry. By default, the template italicizes the value assigned to the parameter and adds a full stop (period) to the end. To turn off the default formatting for the purpose of specifying a different formatting using wikitext markup and templates, for example:|pos=''sb.''{{sup|1}}, specify|noformat=1or|noformat=yes: see the example below.|4=or|column=, or|columns=– the column number(s) of the Dictionary cited. When quoting a range of columns, separate the columns of the range with an en dash, like this:|columns=1–2.|5=,|text=, or|passage=– the passage to be quoted.|footer=– a comment on the passage quoted.
Quoting from a work which is quoted in the Dictionary
Where possible, quote a work directly rather than the quotation of it in the Dictionary. Otherwise:
- use the parameters of
{{quote-book}}such as|year=,|author=,|title=,|volume=, and|page=to specify the information relating to the work quoted in the Dictionary; and - use the parameters set out above to specify the information relating to the Dictionary itself, adding
2to the parameters, that is,|entry2=,|volume2=,|page2=, and|column2=. - In this case,
|main=is not specified.
