Template:R:Dictionary of the Scots Language/documentation

Usage
This template may be used in "References" and "Further reading" sections, and on talk pages, to create a link to The Dictionary of the Scots Language (DSL).

A guide to abbreviations and symbols used in the Dictionary can be found here.

Parameters

 * 1 or entry – the name of the entry in the DSL. If this parameter is not stated, the name of the Wiktionary entry is used.
 * 2, 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.
 * url – if the default URL is not linking to the correct webpage, use this parameter to indicate the URL of the DSL webpage to be linked to.
 * subentry – a term that appears as a subentry under an entry.
 * subpos – the part of speech of the subentry.
 * accessdate – The date on which the DSL was accessed. Use either of these date formats: 1 January 2017 or January 1, 2017.
 * source – use this parameter to indicate the source relied on by the DSL, as follows:
 * DOST – The Dictionary of the Older Scottish Tongue.
 * SND – The Scottish National Dictionary.
 * 3, text, or passage – a passage quoted from the DSL.
 * nodot – by default, the template adds a full stop (period) at the end of the citation. To suppress this punctuation, use 1 or yes.
