Template:RQ:Bierce Dictionary/documentation

Usage
This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from 's work  (1st edition, 1906; 1911 version; and 1967 version). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:


 * The Cynic's Word Book (1st edition, 1906).
 * The Devil's Dictionary (1911).
 * The Enlarged Devil's Dictionary (1967), edited by Ernest Jerome Hopkins.

Parameters
The template takes the following parameters:


 * year – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1st edition (1906) or the 1967 version, specify 1906 or 1967 respectively. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1911 version.
 * chapter – the name of a chapter of the work which is not from the main part of the work. If quoting from the introduction or the preface by Bierce in the 1967 version, specify Introduction or Bierce Preface respectively.
 * 1 or entry – the name of the entry in the dictionary quoted from. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the name of the Wiktionary entry. The entry will be formatted as it appears in the work, either fully capitalized or in small capital letters; to use wikitext to format the entry differently, specify 1 or yes.
 * 2 or page, or pages – mandatory: the page or range of pages 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.

In the 1967 version, indicate the two pages of the preface as 9 and 10, and the first page of the main text as 11.


 * 3, text, or passage – the passage to be quoted.
 * footer – a comment on the passage quoted.
 * brackets – use 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.
