Template:R:Collins English Dictionary/documentation

Usage
This template may be used in "References" and "Further reading" sections, and on talk pages, for citing the online version of the Collins English Dictionary ("CED") at http://www.collinsdictionary.com.

Parameters
The template takes the following parameters:


 * 1 or entry – the name of the entry on the CED website. If this parameter is omitted, the name of the Wiktionary entry is used as a default.
 * pos or part of speech – 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, specify 1 or yes: see the example below.
 * 2 or url – the template can usually automatically create a link to the CED website. However, if the link is incorrect, use this parameter to manually specify the URL of the CED webpage.
 * 3 or accessdate – the date when the CED webpage was accessed, in one of the following formats: 1 January 2017 or January 1, 2017
 * source – the source used by the CED website:
 * COBUILD – Collins COBUILD Advanced Dictionary (6th edition, 2009).
 * Webster – Webster's New World College Dictionary (4th edition, 2010).
 * For help with adding additional sources to this template, please leave a message on the talk page.


 * 4 or passage – a passage quoted from the webpage.
 * nodot – by default, the template adds a full stop (period) at the end of the citation. To suppress this punctuation, use 1 or yes.
