 * 1864 version.

Parameters
The template takes the following parameters:


 * year – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1864 version, specify 1864. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1859).
 * chapter – if not quoting from the dictionary, the name of the chapter quoted from.
 * 1 or entry – if quoting from the dictionary, the name of the entry. If this is not specified, the template uses the name of the Wikipedia entry.

 * 2 or page, or pages – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. 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: 10–11 or x–xi.
 * 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.


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