quote-book[edit]
Quoted text parameters
The following parameters describe the quoted text itself. All other groups of parameters control the citation line. The parameters in this group can be omitted if the quoted text is displayed separately (e.g. in certain East Asian languages, which have their own templates to display the quoted text, such as {{ja-x}} for Japanese, {{zh-x}} for Chinese, {{ko-x}} for Korean, {{th-x}} for Thai and {{km-x}} for Khmer). Even in that case, however, |1= must still be supplied to indicate the language of the quotation.
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|1= (required)
|
A comma-separated list of language codes indicating the language(s) of the quoted text; for a list of the codes, see Wiktionary:List of languages. If the language is other than English, the template will indicate this fact by displaying "(in [language])" (for one language), or "(in [language] and [language])" (for two languages), or "(in [language], [language] ... and [language])" (for three or more languages). The entry page will also be added to a category in the form Category:LANGUAGE terms with quotations for the first listed language (unless |termlang= is specified, in which case that language is used for the category, or |nocat=1 is specified, in which case the page will not be added to any category). The first listed language also determines the font to use and the appropriate transliteration to display, if the text is in a non-Latin script.
Use The parameter |
|text=, |passage=, or |7=
|
The text being quoted. Use boldface to highlight the term being defined, like this: "'''humanities'''".
|
|worklang=
|
A comma-separated list of language codes indicating the language(s) that the book is written in, if different from the quoted text; for a list of the codes, see Wiktionary:List of languages. |
|termlang=
|
A language code indicating the language of the term being illustrated, if different from the quoted text; for a list of the codes, see Wiktionary:List of languages. If specified, this language is the one used when adding the page to a category of the form Category:LANGUAGE terms with quotations; otherwise, the first listed language specified using |1= is used. Only specify this parameter if the language of the quotation is different from the term's language, e.g. a Middle English quotation used to illustrate a modern English term or an English definition of a Vietnamese term in a Vietnamese-English dictionary.
|
|brackets=1
|
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. |
|t=, |translation=, or |8=
|
If the quoted text is not in English, this parameter can be used to provide an English translation of it. |
|lit=
|
If the quoted text is not in English and the translation supplied using |t= or |translation= is idiomatic, this parameter can be used to provide a literal English translation.
|
|footer=
|
This parameter can be used to specify arbitrary text to insert in a separate line at the bottom, to specify a comment, footnote, etc. |
|norm= or |normalization=
|
If the quoted text is written using nonstandard spelling, this parameter supplies the normalized (standardized) version of the quoted text. This applies especially to older quotations. For example, for Old Polish, this parameter could supply a version based on modern Polish spelling conventions, and for Russian text prior to the 1917 spelling reform, this could supply the reformed spelling. |
|tr= or |transliteration=
|
If the quoted text uses a different writing system from the Latin alphabet (the usual alphabet used in English), this parameter can be used to provide a transliteration of it into the Latin alphabet. Note that many languages provide an automatic transliteration if this argument is not specified. If a normalized version of the quoted text is supplied using |norm=, the transliteration will be based on this version if possible (falling back to the actual quoted text if the transliteration of the normalized text fails or if the normalization is supplied in Latin script and the original in a non-Latin script).
|
|subst=
|
Phonetic substitutions to be applied to handle irregular transliterations in certain languages with a non-Latin writing system and automatic transliteration (e.g. Russian and Yiddish). If specified, should be one or more substitution expressions separated by commas, where each substitution expression is of the form FROM//TO (FROM/TO is also accepted), where FROM specifies the source text in the source script (e.g. Cyrillic or Hebrew) and TO is the corresponding replacement text, also in the source script. The intent is to respell irregularly-pronounced words phonetically prior to transliteration, so that the transliteration reflects the pronunciation rather than the spelling. The substitutions are applied in order. Note that Lua patterns can be used in FROM and TO in lieu of literal text; see WT:LUA. See also {{ux}} for an example of using |subst= (the usage is identical to that template). If |norm= is used to provide a normalized version of the quoted text, the substitutions will also apply to this version when transliterating it.
|
|ts= or |transcription=
|
Phonetic transcription of the quoted text, if in a non-Latin script where the transliteration is markedly different from the actual pronunciation (e.g. Akkadian, Ancient Egyption and Tibetan). This should not be used merely to supply the IPA pronunciation of the text. |
|sc=
|
The script code of the quoted text, if not in the Latin script. See Wiktionary:Scripts for more information. It is rarely necessary to specify this as the script is autodetected based on the quoted text. |
|normsc=
|
The script code of the normalized text in |norm=, if not in the Latin script. If unspecified, and a value was given in |sc=, this value will be used to determine the script of the normalized text; otherwise (or if |normsc=auto was specified), the script of the normalized text will be autodetected based on that text.
|
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|date=
|
The date that the book was published. Use either |year= (and optionally |month=), or |date=, not both. The value of |date= must be an actual date, with or without the day, rather than arbitrary text. Various formats are allowed; it is recommended that you either write in YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g. 2023-08-11, or spell out the month, e.g. 2023 August 11 (permutations of the latter are allowed, such as August 11 2023 or 11 August 2023). You can omit the day and the code will attempt to display the date with only the month and year. Regardless of the input format, the output will be displayed in the format 2023 August 11, or 2023 August if the day was omitted.
|
|year=/|2= and |month=
|
The year and (optionally) the month that the book was published. The values of these parameters are not parsed, and arbitrary text can be given if necessary. If the year is preceded by c., e.g. c. 1665, it indicates that the publication year was circa (around) the specified year; similarly a. indicates a publication year ante (before) the specified year, and p. indicates a publication year post (after) the specified year. The year will be displayed boldface unless there is boldface already in the value of the |year= parameter, and the month (if given) will follow. If neither date nor year/month is given, the template displays the message "(Can we date this quote?)" and adds the page to the category Category:Requests for date in LANG entries, using the language specified in |1=. The message and category addition can be suppressed using |nodate=1, but it is recommended that you try to provide a date or approximate date rather than do so. The category addition alone can be suppressed using |nocat=1, but this is not normally recommended.
|
|start_date=
|
If the publication spanned a range of dates, place the starting date in |start_date= (or |start_year=/|start_month=) and the ending date in |date= (or |year=/|month=). The format of |start_date= is as for |date=. If the dates have the same year but different month and day, the year will only be displayed once, and likewise if only the days differ. Use only one of |start_date= or |start_year=/|start_month=, not both.
|
|start_year= and |start_month=
|
Alternatively, specify a range by placing the start year and month in |start_year= and (optionally) |start_month=. These can contain arbitrary text, as with |year= and |month=. To indicate that publication is around, before or after a specified range, place the appropriate indicator (c., a. or p.) before the |year= value, not before the |start_year= value.
|
|nodate=1
|
Specify |nodate=1 if the book is undated and no date (even approximate) can reasonably be determined. This suppresses the maintenance line that is normally displayed if no date is given. Do not use this just because you don't know the date; instead, leave out the date and let the maintenance line be displayed and the page be added to the appropriate maintenance category, so that someone else can help.
|
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|author= or |3=; |author2=; |author3=; etc.
|
The name(s) of the author(s) of the book quoted. Separate multiple authors with semicolons, or use the additional parameters |author2=, |author3=, etc. Alternatively, use |last= and |first= (for the first name, and middle names or initials), along with |last2=/|first2= for additional authors. Do not use both at once.
|
|last= and |first=; |last2= and |first2=; |last3= and |first3=; etc.
|
The first (plus middle names or initials) and last name(s) of the author(s) of the book quoted. Use |last2=/|first2=, |last3=/|first3=, etc. for additional authors. It is preferred to use |author= over |last=/|first=, especially for names of foreign language speakers, where it may not be easy to segment into first and last names. Note that these parameters do not support inline modifiers and do not do automatic script detection; hence they can only be used for Latin-script names.
|
|authorlink=; |authorlink2=; |authorlink3=; etc.
|
The name of an English Wikipedia article about the author, which will be linked to the name(s) specified using |author= or |last=/|first=. Additional articles can be linked to other authors' names using the parameters |authorlink2=, |authorlink3=, etc. Do not add the prefix :en: or w:.
Alternatively, link each person's name directly, like this: |
|coauthors=
|
The names of the coauthor(s) of the book. Separate multiple names with semicolons. |
|mainauthor=
|
If you wish to indicate who a part of a book such as a foreword or introduction was written by, use |author= to do so, and use |mainauthor= to indicate the author(s) of the main part of the book. Separate multiple authors with semicolons.
|
|tlr=, |translator=, or |translators=
|
The name(s) of the translator(s) of the book. Separate multiple names with semicolons. |
|editor= or |editors=
|
The name(s) of the editor(s) of the book. Separate multiple names with semicolons. |
|quotee=
|
The name of the person being quoted, if the whole text quoted is a quotation of someone other than the author. |
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|title= or |4= (required)
|
The title of the book. |
|trans-title=
|
If the title of the book is not in English, this parameter can be used to provide an English translation of the title, as an alternative to specifying the translation using an inline modifier (see below). |
|series= and |seriesvolume=
|
The series that the book belongs to, and the volume number of the book within the series. |
|url= or |5=
|
The URL or web address of an external website containing the full text of the book. Do not link to any website that has content in breach of copyright. |
|urls=
|
Freeform text, intended for multiple URLs. Unlike |url=, the editor must supply the URL brackets [].
|
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|chapter= or |entry=
|
The chapter of the book quoted. You can either specify a chapter number in Arabic or Roman numerals (for example, |chapter=7 or |chapter=VII) or a chapter title (for example, |chapter=Introduction). A chapter given in Arabic or Roman numerals will be preceded by the word "chapter", while a chapter title will be enclosed in “curly quotation marks”. The parameter |entry= can be used if quoting from a dictionary.
|
|chapter_number=
|
If the name of the chapter was supplied in |chapter=, use |chapter_number= to provide the corresponding chapter number, which will be shown in parentheses after the word "chapter", e.g. “Experiments” (chapter 4).
|
|chapter_plain=
|
The full value of the chapter, which will be displayed as-is. Include the word "chapter" and any desired quotation marks. If both |chapter= and |chapter_plain= are given, the value of |chapter_plain= is shown after the chapter, in parentheses. This is useful if chapters in this book have are given a term other than "chapter".
|
|chapterurl= or |entryurl=
|
The URL or web address of an external webpage to link to the chapter or entry name. For example, if the book has no page numbers, the webpage can be linked to the chapter or entry name using this parameter. Do not link to any website that has content in breach of copyright. |
|trans-chapter= or |trans-entry=
|
If the chapter of, or the entry in, the book is not in English, this parameter can be used to provide an English translation of the chapter or entry, as an alternative to specifying the translation using an inline modifier (see below). |
|chapter_tlr=
|
The translator of the chapter, if separate from the overall translator of the book (specified using |tlr= or |translator=).
|
|chapter_series= and |chapter_seriesvolume=
|
If this chapter is part of a series of similar chapters, |chapter_series= can be used to specify the name of the series, and |chapter_seriesvolume= can be used to specify the index of the series, if it exists. Compare the |series= and |seriesvolume= parameters for the book as a whole. These parameters are used especially in conjunction with recurring columns in a newspaper or similar. In {{quote-journal}}, the |chapter= parameter is called |title= and is used to specify the name of a journal, magazine or newspaper article, and the |chapter_series= parameter is called |article_series= and is used to specify the name of the column or article series that the article is part of.
|
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|section=
|
Use this parameter to identify a (usually numbered) portion of a book, as an alternative or complement to specifying a chapter. For example, in a play, use |section=act II, scene iv, and in a technical journal article, use |section=4. If the value of this parameter looks like a Roman or Arabic numeral, it will be prefixed with the word "section", otherwise displayed as-is (compare the similar handling of |chapter=).
|
|section_number=
|
If the name of a section was supplied in |section=, use |section_number= to provide the corresponding section number, which will be shown in parentheses after the word "section", e.g. Experiments (section 4).
|
|section_plain=
|
The full value of the section, which will be displayed as-is; compare |chapter_plain=. (This is provided only for completeness, and is not generally useful, since the value of |section= is also displayed as-is if it doesn't look like a number.)
|
|sectionurl=
|
The URL or web address of an external webpage to link to the section. Do not link to any website that has content in breach of copyright. |
|trans-section=
|
If the section of the book is not in English, this parameter can be used to provide an English translation of the section, as an alternative to specifying the translation using an inline modifier (see below). |
|section_series= and |section_seriesvolume=
|
If this section is part of a series of similar sections, |section_series= can be used to specify the name of the series, and |section_seriesvolume= can be used to specify the index of the series, if it exists. Compare the |series= and |seriesvolume= parameters for the book as a whole, and the |chapter_series= and |chapter_seriesvolume= parameters for a chapter.
|
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|page=, |pages=, or |6=
|
The page number or range of page numbers of the book. Use an en dash (–) to separate the page numbers in the range. Under normal circumstances, |page= and |pages= are aliases of each other, and the code autodetects whether to display singular "page" or plural "pages" before the supplied number or range. The autodetection code displays the "pages" if it finds an en-dash (–), an em-dash (—), a hyphen between numbers, or a comma followed by a space and between numbers (the space is necessary, so that numbers like 1,478 with a thousands separator don't get treated as multiple pages). To suppress the autodetection (for example, some books have hyphenated page numbers like 3-16), precede the value with an exclamation point (!); if this is given, the name of the parameter determines whether to display "page" or "pages". Alternatively, use |page_plain=. As a special case, the value unnumbered causes unnumbered page to display.
|
|page_plain=
|
Free text specifying the page or pages of the quoted text, e.g. folio 8 or back cover. Use only one of |page=, |pages= and |page_plain=.
|
|pageurl=
|
The URL or web address of the webpage containing the page(s) of the book referred to. The page number(s) will be linked to this webpage. |
|line= or |lines=
|
The line number(s) of the quoted text, e.g. 47 or 151–154. These parameters work identically to |page= and |pages=, respectively. Line numbers are often used in plays, poems and certain technical works.
|
|line_plain=
|
Free text specifying the line number(s) of the quoted text, e.g. verses 44–45 or footnote 3. Use only one of |line=, |lines= and |line_plain=.
|
|lineurl=
|
The URL or web address of the webpage containing the line(s) of the book referred to. The line number(s) will be linked to this webpage. |
|column=, |columns=, |column_plain=, and |columnurl=
|
The column number(s) of the quoted text. These parameters book identically to |page=, |pages=, |page_plain= and |pageurl=, respectively.
|
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|publisher=
|
The name of one or more publishers of the book. If more than one publisher is stated, separate the names with semicolons. |
|location=
|
The location where the book was published. If more than one location is stated, separate the locations with semicolons, like this: London; New York, N.Y..
|
|edition=
|
The edition of the book quoted, for example, 2nd or 3rd corrected and revised. This text will be followed by the word "edition" (use |edition_plain= to avoid this). If quoting from the first edition of the book, it is usually not necessary to specify this fact.
|
|edition_plain=
|
Free text specifying the edition of the book quoted, e.g. 3rd printing or 5th edition, digitized or version 3.72.
|
|year_published= and |month_published=
|
year=1665|year_published=2005". |month_published= can optionally be used to specify the month of publication. The year published is preceded by the word "published". These parameters are handled in an identical fashion to |year= and |month= (except that the year isn't displayed boldface by default). This means, for example, that the prefixes c., a. and p. are recognized to specify that the publication happened circa/before/after a specified date.
|
|date_published=
|
The date that the version of the book quoted from was published. Use either |year_published= (and optionally |month_published=), or |date_published=, not both. As with |date=, the value of |date_published= must be an actual date, with or without the day, rather than arbitrary text. The same formats are recognized as for |date=.
|
|start_year_published= and |start_month_published=
|
If the publication of the version quoted from spanned a range of dates, specify the starting year (and optionally month) using these parameters and place the ending date in |year_published=/|month_published= (or |date_published=). This works identically to |start_year=/|start_month=. It is rarely necessary to use these parameters.
|
|start_date_published=
|
Start date of the publication of the version quoted from, as an alternative to specifying |start_year_published=/|start_month_published=. This works like |start_date=. It is rarely necessary to specify this parameter.
|
|origyear= and |origmonth=
|
The year when the book was originally published, if the book quoted from is a new version of a book (not merely a new printing). For example, if quoting from a modern edition of Shakespeare or Milton, put the date of the modern edition in |year=/|month= or |date= and the date of the original edition in |origyear=/|origmonth= or |origdate=. |origmonth= can optionally be used to supply the original month of publication, or a full date can be given using |origdate=. Use either |origyear=/|origmonth= or |origdate=, not both. These parameters are handled in an identical fashion to |year= and |month= (except that the year isn't displayed boldface by default). This means, for example, that the prefixes c., a. and p. are recognized to specify that the original publication happened circa/before/after a specified date.
|
|origdate=
|
The date that the original version of the book quoted from was published. Use either |origyear= (and optionally |origmonth=), or |origdate=, not both. As with |date=, the value of |origdate= must be an actual date, with or without the day, rather than arbitrary text. The same formats are recognized as for |date=.
|
|origstart_year=, |origstart_month=, and |origstart_date=
|
The start year/month or date of the original version of publication, if the publication happened over a range. Use either |origstart_year= (and optionally |origstart_month=), or |origstart_date=, not both. These book just like |start_year=, |start_month= and |start_date=, and very rarely need to be specified.
|
|platform=
|
The platform on which the book has been published. This is intended for content aggregation platforms such as YouTube, Issuu and Magzter. This displays as "via PLATFORM". |
|source=
|
The source of the content of the book. This is intended e.g. for news agencies such as the Associated Press, Reuters and Agence France-Presse (AFP) (and is named |newsagency= in {{quote-journal}} for this reason). This displays as "sourced from SOURCE".
|
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|volume= or |volumes=
|
The volume number(s) of the book. This displays as "volume VOLUME", or "volumes VOLUMES" if a range of numbers is given. Whether to display "volume" or "volumes" is autodetected, exactly as for |page= and |pages=; use ! at the beginning of the value to suppress this and respect the parameter name. Use |volume_plain= if you wish to suppress the word "volume" appearing in front of the volume number.
|
|volume_plain=
|
Free text specifying the volume number(s) of the book, e.g. book II. Use only one of |volume=, |volumes= and |volume_plain=.
|
|volumeurl=
|
The URL or web address of the webpage corresponding to the volume containing the quoted text, if the book has multiple volumes with different URL's. The volume number(s) will be linked to this webpage. |
|issue=/|number=, |issues=/|numbers=, |issue_plain=/|number_plain=, and |issueurl=/|numberurl=
|
The issue number(s) of the quoted text. These parameters work identically to |page=, |pages=, |page_plain= and |pageurl=, respectively, except that the displayed text contains the term "number" or "numbers" rather than "issue" or "issues", as might be expected. Examples of the use of |issue_plain= are book 2 (if the book is divided into volumes and volumes are divided into books) or Sonderheft 1 (where Sonderheft means "special issue" in German).
|
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|doi= or |DOI=
|
The digital object identifier (DOI) of the book. |
|isbn= or |ISBN=
|
The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) of the book. 13-digit ISBN's are preferred over 10-digit ones. |
|issn= or |ISSN=
|
International Standard Serial Number]] (ISSN) of the book. |
|jstor= or |JSTOR=
|
The JSTOR number of the book. |
|lccn= or |LCCN=
|
The Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN) of the book. |
|oclc= or |OCLC=
|
The Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) number of the book (which can be looked up at the WorldCat website). |
|ol= or |OL=
|
The Open Library number (omitting "OL") of the book. |
|pmid= or |PMID=
|
The PubMed identifier (PMID) of the book. |
|pmcid= or |PMCID=
|
The PubMed Central identifier (PMCID) of the book. |
|ssrn= or |SSRN=
|
The Social Science Research Network (SSRN) identifier of the book. |
|bibcode=
|
The bibcode (bibliographic code, used in astronomical data systems) of the book. |
|id=
|
Any miscellaneous identifier of the book. |
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|archiveurl= and |archivedate=
|
Use |archiveurl= and |archivedate= (which must be used together) to indicate the URL or web address of a webpage on a website such as the Internet Archive or Perma.cc at which the webpage has been archived, and the date on which the webpage was archived.
|
|accessdate=
|
If the webpage cannot be archived, use |accessdate= to indicate the date when the webpage was last accessed. Unlike other date parameters, this parameter is free text. (If the webpage has been archived, it is unnecessary to use this parameter.)
|
Miscellaneous citation parameters
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|format=
|
The format that the book is in, for example, "hardcover" or "paperback" for a book or "blog" for a web page.
|
|genre=
|
The literary genre of the book, for example, "fiction" or "non-fiction".
|
|nocat=1
|
Specify |nocat=1 to suppress adding the page to a category of the form Category:LANGUAGE terms with quotations. This should not normally be done.
|
New version of a book
The following parameters can be used to indicate a new version of the book, such as a reprint, a new edition, or some other republished version. The general means of doing this is as follows:
- Specify
|newversion=republished as,|newversion=translated as,|newversion=quoted inor similar to indicate what the new version is. (Under some circumstances, this parameter can be omitted; see below.) - Specify the author(s) of the new version using
|2ndauthor=(separating multiple authors with a semicolon) or|2ndlast=/|2ndfirst=. - Specify the remaining properties of the new version by appending a
2to the parameters as specified above, e.g.|title2=for the title of the new version,|page2=for the page number of the new version, etc.
Some special-case parameters are supplied as an alternative to specifying a new version this way. For example, the |original= and |by= parameters can be used when quoting a translated version of a book; see below.
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|newversion=
|
The template assumes that a new version of the book is referred to if |newversion= or |location2= are given, or if the parameters specifying the author of the new version are given (|2ndauthor= or |2ndlast=), or if any other parameter indicating the title or author of the new version is given (any of |chapter2=, |title2=, |tlr2=, |translator2=, |translators2=, |mainauthor2=, |editor2= or |editors2=). It then behaves as follows:
|
|2ndauthor=
|
The author of the new version. Separate multiple authors with a semicolon. Alternatively, use |2ndlast= and |2ndfirst=.
|
|2ndlast= and |2ndfirst=
|
The first (plus middle names or initials) and last name(s) of the author of the new version. It is preferred to use |2ndauthor= over |2ndlast=/|2ndfirst=, for multiple reasons:
|
|2ndauthorlink=
|
The name of an English Wikipedia article about the author, which will be linked to the name(s) specified using |2ndauthor= or |2ndlast=/|2ndfirst=. Do not add the prefix :en: or w:. Alternatively, link each person's name directly, like this: |2ndauthor=[[w:Kathleen Taylor (biologist)|Kathleen Taylor]].
|
|title2=, |editor2=, |location2=, etc.
|
Most of the parameters listed above can be applied to a new version of the book by adding "2" after the parameter name. It is recommended that at a minimum the imprint information of the new version of the book should be provided using |location2=, |publisher2=, and |date2= or |year2=.
|
Alternative special-case ways of specifying a new version of a book
The following parameters provide alternative ways of specifying new version of a book, such as a reprint or translation, or a case where part of one book is quoted in another. If you find that these parameters are insufficient for specifying all the information about both works, do not try to shoehorn the extra information in. Instead, use the method described above using |newversion= and |2ndauthor=, |title2=, etc.
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|type=, |original=, and |by=
|
If you are citing a derivative work such as a translation, use |type= to state the type of derivative work, |original= to state the title of the original work, and |by= to state the author of the original work. If |type= is not indicated, the template assumes that the derivative work is a translation.
|
|quoted_in=
|
If the quoted text is from book A which states that the text is from another book B, do the following:
|
quote-journal[edit]
Quoted text parameters
The following parameters describe the quoted text itself. All other groups of parameters control the citation line. The parameters in this group can be omitted if the quoted text is displayed separately (e.g. in certain East Asian languages, which have their own templates to display the quoted text, such as {{ja-x}} for Japanese, {{zh-x}} for Chinese, {{ko-x}} for Korean, {{th-x}} for Thai and {{km-x}} for Khmer). Even in that case, however, |1= must still be supplied to indicate the language of the quotation.
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|1= (required)
|
A comma-separated list of language codes indicating the language(s) of the quoted text; for a list of the codes, see Wiktionary:List of languages. If the language is other than English, the template will indicate this fact by displaying "(in [language])" (for one language), or "(in [language] and [language])" (for two languages), or "(in [language], [language] ... and [language])" (for three or more languages). The entry page will also be added to a category in the form Category:LANGUAGE terms with quotations for the first listed language (unless |termlang= is specified, in which case that language is used for the category, or |nocat=1 is specified, in which case the page will not be added to any category). The first listed language also determines the font to use and the appropriate transliteration to display, if the text is in a non-Latin script.
Use The parameter |
|text=, |passage=, or |8=
|
The text being quoted. Use boldface to highlight the term being defined, like this: "'''humanities'''".
|
|worklang=
|
A comma-separated list of language codes indicating the language(s) that the book is written in, if different from the quoted text; for a list of the codes, see Wiktionary:List of languages. |
|termlang=
|
A language code indicating the language of the term being illustrated, if different from the quoted text; for a list of the codes, see Wiktionary:List of languages. If specified, this language is the one used when adding the page to a category of the form Category:LANGUAGE terms with quotations; otherwise, the first listed language specified using |1= is used. Only specify this parameter if the language of the quotation is different from the term's language, e.g. a Middle English quotation used to illustrate a modern English term or an English definition of a Vietnamese term in a Vietnamese-English dictionary.
|
|brackets=1
|
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. |
|t=, |translation=, or |9=
|
If the quoted text is not in English, this parameter can be used to provide an English translation of it. |
|lit=
|
If the quoted text is not in English and the translation supplied using |t= or |translation= is idiomatic, this parameter can be used to provide a literal English translation.
|
|footer=
|
This parameter can be used to specify arbitrary text to insert in a separate line at the bottom, to specify a comment, footnote, etc. |
|norm= or |normalization=
|
If the quoted text is written using nonstandard spelling, this parameter supplies the normalized (standardized) version of the quoted text. This applies especially to older quotations. For example, for Old Polish, this parameter could supply a version based on modern Polish spelling conventions, and for Russian text prior to the 1917 spelling reform, this could supply the reformed spelling. |
|tr= or |transliteration=
|
If the quoted text uses a different writing system from the Latin alphabet (the usual alphabet used in English), this parameter can be used to provide a transliteration of it into the Latin alphabet. Note that many languages provide an automatic transliteration if this argument is not specified. If a normalized version of the quoted text is supplied using |norm=, the transliteration will be based on this version if possible (falling back to the actual quoted text if the transliteration of the normalized text fails or if the normalization is supplied in Latin script and the original in a non-Latin script).
|
|subst=
|
Phonetic substitutions to be applied to handle irregular transliterations in certain languages with a non-Latin writing system and automatic transliteration (e.g. Russian and Yiddish). If specified, should be one or more substitution expressions separated by commas, where each substitution expression is of the form FROM//TO (FROM/TO is also accepted), where FROM specifies the source text in the source script (e.g. Cyrillic or Hebrew) and TO is the corresponding replacement text, also in the source script. The intent is to respell irregularly-pronounced words phonetically prior to transliteration, so that the transliteration reflects the pronunciation rather than the spelling. The substitutions are applied in order. Note that Lua patterns can be used in FROM and TO in lieu of literal text; see WT:LUA. See also {{ux}} for an example of using |subst= (the usage is identical to that template). If |norm= is used to provide a normalized version of the quoted text, the substitutions will also apply to this version when transliterating it.
|
|ts= or |transcription=
|
Phonetic transcription of the quoted text, if in a non-Latin script where the transliteration is markedly different from the actual pronunciation (e.g. Akkadian, Ancient Egyption and Tibetan). This should not be used merely to supply the IPA pronunciation of the text. |
|sc=
|
The script code of the quoted text, if not in the Latin script. See Wiktionary:Scripts for more information. It is rarely necessary to specify this as the script is autodetected based on the quoted text. |
|normsc=
|
The script code of the normalized text in |norm=, if not in the Latin script. If unspecified, and a value was given in |sc=, this value will be used to determine the script of the normalized text; otherwise (or if |normsc=auto was specified), the script of the normalized text will be autodetected based on that text.
|
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|date=
|
The date that the article was published. Use either |year= (and optionally |month=), or |date=, not both. The value of |date= must be an actual date, with or without the day, rather than arbitrary text. Various formats are allowed; it is recommended that you either write in YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g. 2023-08-11, or spell out the month, e.g. 2023 August 11 (permutations of the latter are allowed, such as August 11 2023 or 11 August 2023). You can omit the day and the code will attempt to display the date with only the month and year. Regardless of the input format, the output will be displayed in the format 2023 August 11, or 2023 August if the day was omitted.
|
|year=/|2= and |month=
|
The year and (optionally) the month that the article was published. The values of these parameters are not parsed, and arbitrary text can be given if necessary. If the year is preceded by c., e.g. c. 1665, it indicates that the publication year was circa (around) the specified year; similarly a. indicates a publication year ante (before) the specified year, and p. indicates a publication year post (after) the specified year. The year will be displayed boldface unless there is boldface already in the value of the |year= parameter, and the month (if given) will follow. If neither date nor year/month is given, the template displays the message "(Can we date this quote?)" and adds the page to the category Category:Requests for date in LANG entries, using the language specified in |1=. The message and category addition can be suppressed using |nodate=1, but it is recommended that you try to provide a date or approximate date rather than do so. The category addition alone can be suppressed using |nocat=1, but this is not normally recommended.
|
|start_date=
|
If the publication spanned a range of dates, place the starting date in |start_date= (or |start_year=/|start_month=) and the ending date in |date= (or |year=/|month=). The format of |start_date= is as for |date=. If the dates have the same year but different month and day, the year will only be displayed once, and likewise if only the days differ. Use only one of |start_date= or |start_year=/|start_month=, not both.
|
|start_year= and |start_month=
|
Alternatively, specify a range by placing the start year and month in |start_year= and (optionally) |start_month=. These can contain arbitrary text, as with |year= and |month=. To indicate that publication is around, before or after a specified range, place the appropriate indicator (c., a. or p.) before the |year= value, not before the |start_year= value.
|
|nodate=1
|
Specify |nodate=1 if the article is undated and no date (even approximate) can reasonably be determined. This suppresses the maintenance line that is normally displayed if no date is given. Do not use this just because you don't know the date; instead, leave out the date and let the maintenance line be displayed and the page be added to the appropriate maintenance category, so that someone else can help.
|
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|author= or |3=; |author2=; |author3=; etc.
|
The name(s) of the author(s) of the article quoted. Separate multiple authors with semicolons, or use the additional parameters |author2=, |author3=, etc. Alternatively, use |last= and |first= (for the first name, and middle names or initials), along with |last2=/|first2= for additional authors. Do not use both at once.
|
|last= and |first=; |last2= and |first2=; |last3= and |first3=; etc.
|
The first (plus middle names or initials) and last name(s) of the author(s) of the article quoted. Use |last2=/|first2=, |last3=/|first3=, etc. for additional authors. It is preferred to use |author= over |last=/|first=, especially for names of foreign language speakers, where it may not be easy to segment into first and last names. Note that these parameters do not support inline modifiers and do not do automatic script detection; hence they can only be used for Latin-script names.
|
|authorlink=; |authorlink2=; |authorlink3=; etc.
|
The name of an English Wikipedia article about the author, which will be linked to the name(s) specified using |author= or |last=/|first=. Additional articles can be linked to other authors' names using the parameters |authorlink2=, |authorlink3=, etc. Do not add the prefix :en: or w:.
Alternatively, link each person's name directly, like this: |
|coauthors=
|
The names of the coauthor(s) of the article. Separate multiple names with semicolons. |
|mainauthor=
|
If you wish to indicate who a part of an article such as a foreword or introduction was written by, use |author= to do so, and use |mainauthor= to indicate the author(s) of the main part of the article. Separate multiple authors with semicolons.
|
|tlr=, |translator=, or |translators=
|
The name(s) of the translator(s) of the journal. Separate multiple names with semicolons. |
|editor= or |editors=
|
The name(s) of the editor(s) of the journal. Separate multiple names with semicolons. |
|quotee=
|
The name of the person being quoted, if the whole text quoted is a quotation of someone other than the author. |

|journal=, |magazine=, |newspaper=, |work=, or |5=
|
The title of the journal. |
|trans-journal=, |trans-magazine=, |trans-newspaper=, or |trans-work=
|
If the title of the journal is not in English, this parameter can be used to provide an English translation of the title, as an alternative to specifying the translation using an inline modifier (see below). |
|series= and |seriesvolume=
|
The series that the journal belongs to, and the volume number of the journal within the series. |
|url= or |6=
|
The URL or web address of an external website containing the full text of the article. Do not link to any website that has content in breach of copyright. |
|urls=
|
Freeform text, intended for multiple URLs. Unlike |url=, the editor must supply the URL brackets [].
|
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|title=, |article=, or |4=
|
The title of the journal article quoted, which will be enclosed in “curly quotation marks”. |
|title_plain= or |article_plain=
|
The title of the article, which will be displayed as-is. Include any desired quotation marks and other words. If both |title= and |title_plain= are given, the value of |title_plain= is shown after the title, in parentheses. This is useful e.g. to indicate an article number or other identifier.
|
|titleurl= or |article_url=
|
The URL or web address of an external webpage to link to the article. Note that it is generally preferred to use |pageurl= to link directly to the page of the quoted text, if possible. Do not link to any website that has content in breach of copyright.
|
|trans-title= or |trans-article=
|
If the journal article is not in English, this parameter can be used to provide an English translation of the title, as an alternative to specifying the translation using an inline modifier (see below). |
|article_tlr=
|
The translator of the article, if separate from the overall translator of the journal (specified using |tlr= or |translator=).
|
|article_series= and |article_seriesvolume=
|
If this article is part of a series of similar articles, |article_series= can be used to specify the name of the series, and |article_seriesvolume= can be used to specify the index of the series, if it exists. Compare the |series= and |seriesvolume= parameters for the journal as a whole. These parameters can be used, for example, for recurring columns in a newspaper.
|
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|section=
|
Use this parameter to identify a (usually numbered) portion of an article, as an alternative or complement to specifying a chapter. For example, in a play, use |section=act II, scene iv, and in a technical journal article, use |section=4. If the value of this parameter looks like a Roman or Arabic numeral, it will be prefixed with the word "section", otherwise displayed as-is (compare the similar handling of |chapter=).
|
|section_number=
|
If the name of a section was supplied in |section=, use |section_number= to provide the corresponding section number, which will be shown in parentheses after the word "section", e.g. Experiments (section 4).
|
|section_plain=
|
The full value of the section, which will be displayed as-is; compare |chapter_plain=. (This is provided only for completeness, and is not generally useful, since the value of |section= is also displayed as-is if it doesn't look like a number.)
|
|sectionurl=
|
The URL or web address of an external webpage to link to the section. Do not link to any website that has content in breach of copyright. |
|trans-section=
|
If the section of the article is not in English, this parameter can be used to provide an English translation of the section, as an alternative to specifying the translation using an inline modifier (see below). |
|section_series= and |section_seriesvolume=
|
If this section is part of a series of similar sections, |section_series= can be used to specify the name of the series, and |section_seriesvolume= can be used to specify the index of the series, if it exists. Compare the |series= and |seriesvolume= parameters for the journal as a whole, and the |chapter_series= and |chapter_seriesvolume= parameters for a chapter.
|
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|page=, |pages=, or |7=
|
The page number or range of page numbers of the article. Use an en dash (–) to separate the page numbers in the range. Under normal circumstances, |page= and |pages= are aliases of each other, and the code autodetects whether to display singular "page" or plural "pages" before the supplied number or range. The autodetection code displays the "pages" if it finds an en-dash (–), an em-dash (—), a hyphen between numbers, or a comma followed by a space and between numbers (the space is necessary, so that numbers like 1,478 with a thousands separator don't get treated as multiple pages). To suppress the autodetection (for example, some books have hyphenated page numbers like 3-16), precede the value with an exclamation point (!); if this is given, the name of the parameter determines whether to display "page" or "pages". Alternatively, use |page_plain=. As a special case, the value unnumbered causes unnumbered page to display.
|
|page_plain=
|
Free text specifying the page or pages of the quoted text, e.g. folio 8 or back cover. Use only one of |page=, |pages= and |page_plain=.
|
|pageurl=
|
The URL or web address of the webpage containing the page(s) of the article referred to. The page number(s) will be linked to this webpage. |
|line= or |lines=
|
The line number(s) of the quoted text, e.g. 47 or 151–154. These parameters work identically to |page= and |pages=, respectively. Line numbers are often used in plays, poems and certain technical works.
|
|line_plain=
|
Free text specifying the line number(s) of the quoted text, e.g. verses 44–45 or footnote 3. Use only one of |line=, |lines= and |line_plain=.
|
|lineurl=
|
The URL or web address of the webpage containing the line(s) of the article referred to. The line number(s) will be linked to this webpage. |
|column=, |columns=, |column_plain=, and |columnurl=
|
The column number(s) of the quoted text. These parameters article identically to |page=, |pages=, |page_plain= and |pageurl=, respectively.
|
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|publisher=
|
The name of one or more publishers of the journal. If more than one publisher is stated, separate the names with semicolons. |
|location=
|
The location where the journal was published. If more than one location is stated, separate the locations with semicolons, like this: London; New York, N.Y..
|
|edition=
|
The edition of the journal quoted, for example, 2nd or 3rd corrected and revised. This text will be followed by the word "edition" (use |edition_plain= to avoid this). If quoting from the first edition of the journal, it is usually not necessary to specify this fact.
|
|edition_plain=
|
Free text specifying the edition of the journal quoted, e.g. 3rd printing or 5th edition, digitized or version 3.72.
|
|year_published= and |month_published=
|
year=1665|year_published=2005". |month_published= can optionally be used to specify the month of publication. The year published is preceded by the word "published". These parameters are handled in an identical fashion to |year= and |month= (except that the year isn't displayed boldface by default). This means, for example, that the prefixes c., a. and p. are recognized to specify that the publication happened circa/before/after a specified date.
|
|date_published=
|
The date that the version of the journal issue quoted from was published. Use either |year_published= (and optionally |month_published=), or |date_published=, not both. As with |date=, the value of |date_published= must be an actual date, with or without the day, rather than arbitrary text. The same formats are recognized as for |date=.
|
|start_year_published= and |start_month_published=
|
If the publication of the version quoted from spanned a range of dates, specify the starting year (and optionally month) using these parameters and place the ending date in |year_published=/|month_published= (or |date_published=). This works identically to |start_year=/|start_month=. It is rarely necessary to use these parameters.
|
|start_date_published=
|
Start date of the publication of the version quoted from, as an alternative to specifying |start_year_published=/|start_month_published=. This works like |start_date=. It is rarely necessary to specify this parameter.
|
|origyear= and |origmonth=
|
The year when the article was originally published, if the article quoted from is a new version of an article (not merely a new printing). For example, if quoting from a modern edition of Shakespeare or Milton, put the date of the modern edition in |year=/|month= or |date= and the date of the original edition in |origyear=/|origmonth= or |origdate=. |origmonth= can optionally be used to supply the original month of publication, or a full date can be given using |origdate=. Use either |origyear=/|origmonth= or |origdate=, not both. These parameters are handled in an identical fashion to |year= and |month= (except that the year isn't displayed boldface by default). This means, for example, that the prefixes c., a. and p. are recognized to specify that the original publication happened circa/before/after a specified date.
|
|origdate=
|
The date that the original version of the article quoted from was published. Use either |origyear= (and optionally |origmonth=), or |origdate=, not both. As with |date=, the value of |origdate= must be an actual date, with or without the day, rather than arbitrary text. The same formats are recognized as for |date=.
|
|origstart_year=, |origstart_month=, and |origstart_date=
|
The start year/month or date of the original version of publication, if the publication happened over a range. Use either |origstart_year= (and optionally |origstart_month=), or |origstart_date=, not both. These article just like |start_year=, |start_month= and |start_date=, and very rarely need to be specified.
|
|platform=
|
The platform on which the article has been published. This is intended for content aggregation platforms such as YouTube, Issuu and Magzter. This displays as "via PLATFORM". |
|source= or |newsagency=
|
The source of the content of the article. This is intended e.g. for news agencies such as the Associated Press, Reuters and Agence France-Presse (AFP) (and is named |newsagency= in {{quote-journal}} for this reason). This displays as "sourced from SOURCE".
|
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|volume= or |volumes=
|
The volume number(s) of the journal. This displays as "volume VOLUME", or "volumes VOLUMES" if a range of numbers is given. Whether to display "volume" or "volumes" is autodetected, exactly as for |page= and |pages=; use ! at the beginning of the value to suppress this and respect the parameter name. Use |volume_plain= if you wish to suppress the word "volume" appearing in front of the volume number.
|
|volume_plain=
|
Free text specifying the volume number(s) of the journal, e.g. book II. Use only one of |volume=, |volumes= and |volume_plain=.
|
|volumeurl=
|
The URL or web address of the webpage corresponding to the volume containing the quoted text, if the journal has multiple volumes with different URL's. The volume number(s) will be linked to this webpage. |
|issue=/|number=, |issues=/|numbers=, |issue_plain=/|number_plain=, and |issueurl=/|numberurl=
|
The issue number(s) of the quoted text. These parameters work identically to |page=, |pages=, |page_plain= and |pageurl=, respectively, except that the displayed text contains the term "number" or "numbers" rather than "issue" or "issues", as might be expected. Examples of the use of |issue_plain= are book 2 (if the journal is divided into volumes and volumes are divided into books) or Sonderheft 1 (where Sonderheft means "special issue" in German).
|
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|doi= or |DOI=
|
The digital object identifier (DOI) of the article. |
|isbn= or |ISBN=
|
The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) of the journal. 13-digit ISBN's are preferred over 10-digit ones. |
|issn= or |ISSN=
|
International Standard Serial Number]] (ISSN) of the journal. |
|jstor= or |JSTOR=
|
The JSTOR number of the article. |
|lccn= or |LCCN=
|
The Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN) of the article. |
|oclc= or |OCLC=
|
The Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) number of the article (which can be looked up at the WorldCat website). |
|ol= or |OL=
|
The Open Library number (omitting "OL") of the article. |
|pmid= or |PMID=
|
The PubMed identifier (PMID) of the article. |
|pmcid= or |PMCID=
|
The PubMed Central identifier (PMCID) of the article. |
|ssrn= or |SSRN=
|
The Social Science Research Network (SSRN) identifier of the article. |
|bibcode=
|
The bibcode (bibliographic code, used in astronomical data systems) of the article. |
|id=
|
Any miscellaneous identifier of the article. |
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|archiveurl= and |archivedate=
|
Use |archiveurl= and |archivedate= (which must be used together) to indicate the URL or web address of a webpage on a website such as the Internet Archive or Perma.cc at which the webpage has been archived, and the date on which the webpage was archived.
|
|accessdate=
|
If the webpage cannot be archived, use |accessdate= to indicate the date when the webpage was last accessed. Unlike other date parameters, this parameter is free text. (If the webpage has been archived, it is unnecessary to use this parameter.)
|
Miscellaneous citation parameters
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|format=
|
The format that the article is in, for example, "hardcover" or "paperback" for a book or "blog" for a web page.
|
|genre=
|
The literary genre of the article, for example, "fiction" or "non-fiction".
|
|nocat=1
|
Specify |nocat=1 to suppress adding the page to a category of the form Category:LANGUAGE terms with quotations. This should not normally be done.
|
New version of an article
The following parameters can be used to indicate a new version of the article, such as a reprint, a new edition, or some other republished version. The general means of doing this is as follows:
- Specify
|newversion=republished as,|newversion=translated as,|newversion=quoted inor similar to indicate what the new version is. (Under some circumstances, this parameter can be omitted; see below.) - Specify the author(s) of the new version using
|2ndauthor=(separating multiple authors with a semicolon) or|2ndlast=/|2ndfirst=. - Specify the remaining properties of the new version by appending a
2to the parameters as specified above, e.g.|title2=for the title of the new version,|page2=for the page number of the new version, etc.
Some special-case parameters are supplied as an alternative to specifying a new version this way. For example, the |original= and |by= parameters can be used when quoting a translated version of an article; see below.
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|newversion=
|
The template assumes that a new version of the article is referred to if |newversion= or |location2= are given, or if the parameters specifying the author of the new version are given (|2ndauthor= or |2ndlast=), or if any other parameter indicating the title or author of the new version is given (any of |chapter2=, |title2=, |tlr2=, |translator2=, |translators2=, |mainauthor2=, |editor2= or |editors2=). It then behaves as follows:
|
|2ndauthor=
|
The author of the new version. Separate multiple authors with a semicolon. Alternatively, use |2ndlast= and |2ndfirst=.
|
|2ndlast= and |2ndfirst=
|
The first (plus middle names or initials) and last name(s) of the author of the new version. It is preferred to use |2ndauthor= over |2ndlast=/|2ndfirst=, for multiple reasons:
|
|2ndauthorlink=
|
The name of an English Wikipedia article about the author, which will be linked to the name(s) specified using |2ndauthor= or |2ndlast=/|2ndfirst=. Do not add the prefix :en: or w:. Alternatively, link each person's name directly, like this: |2ndauthor=[[w:Kathleen Taylor (biologist)|Kathleen Taylor]].
|
|title2=, |editor2=, |location2=, etc.
|
Most of the parameters listed above can be applied to a new version of the article by adding "2" after the parameter name. It is recommended that at a minimum the imprint information of the new version of the article should be provided using |location2=, |publisher2=, and |date2= or |year2=.
|
Alternative special-case ways of specifying a new version of an article
The following parameters provide alternative ways of specifying new version of an article, such as a reprint or translation, or a case where part of one article is quoted in another. If you find that these parameters are insufficient for specifying all the information about both works, do not try to shoehorn the extra information in. Instead, use the method described above using |newversion= and |2ndauthor=, |title2=, etc.
| Parameter | Remarks |
|---|---|
|type=, |original=, and |by=
|
If you are citing a derivative work such as a translation, use |type= to state the type of derivative work, |original= to state the title of the original work, and |by= to state the author of the original work. If |type= is not indicated, the template assumes that the derivative work is a translation.
|
|quoted_in=
|
If the quoted text is from book A which states that the text is from another book B, do the following:
|
