Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Washington Irving's work The Rocky Mountains: Or, Scenes, Incidents, and Adventures in the Far West (1st edition, 1837), which was published in the United Kingdom as Adventures of Captain Bonneville, or Scenes beyond the Rocky Mountains of the Far West (1st UK edition, 1837). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the HathiTrust Digital Library and the Internet Archive:

1st edition (1837): Volume I. Volume II.

1st UK edition (1837): Volume I (pages 8 and 9 are missing and can be obtained from this version). Volume II. Volume III.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |edition= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1st UK edition (1837), specify |edition=UK.
• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=I or |volume=II if quoting from the 1st edition, or |volume=I to |volume=III if quoting from the 1st UK edition.
• |2= or |chapter= – the chapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, which restarts from I in each volume.
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page or range of pages quoted from. If quoting from the preface, specify the page number(s) in lowercase Roman numerals. 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 link to an online version of the work.

• |4=, |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.
