Uses Lua:

Module:quote

Usage

This template can be used in a dictionary entry to provide a quotation from a book.

For citations in "References" and "Further reading" sections, and on talk pages, use {{cite-book}}.

Sample templates

Most basic parameters for English quotations

#* {{quote-book|1=|year=|author=|title=|chapter=|url=|page=|text=}}

Most basic parameters for non-English quotations

#* {{quote-book|1=|year=|author=|title=|chapter=|url=|page=|text=|t=}}

Commonly used parameters

#* {{quote-book|1=|author=|authorlink=|chapter=|editor=|editors=|title=|url=|archiveurl=|archivedate=|edition=|location=|publisher=|date=|isbn=|oclc=|volume=|section=|sectionurl=|page=|pages=|pageurl=|text=|t=|tr=}}

Certain basic parameters can be used in the template without any named parameters, as follows:

#* {{quote-book|[lang]|[year]|[author]|[title]|[url]|[page]|[text]|[translation]}}

This will not work if any of the parameters contains an equals ("=") sign. The value of any parameter containing an equals sign must be surrounded by <nowiki> tags, like this: "<nowiki>http://foo.com?id=bar</nowiki>". Alternatively, use a named parameter such as url.

Parameters

Kamalian sa iskrip: Walang ganyang modulo na "quote doc".

Examples

Basic examples

A basic example: Padron:demo Here, the author is preceded by w:, which links to a Wikipedia entry under the same name. The year is preceded by c. to indicate an approximate year, which is processed specially and displayed with a tooltip explaining the meaning of c.. Note also the difference between |pageurl=, which provides a URL to a specific page and is used to link the page number, and the overall URL specified using |url=, which is converted into a superscript reference following the title.

Another basic example: Padron:demo Here, a date is specified in place of a year, and two authors are given, semicolon-separated, which when displayed become comma-separated.

Another basic example: Padron:demo This shows the correct use of et al., which should follow a semicolon in a list of authors or other entities. It will be correctly italicized and the preceding delimiter removed.

The following an example of quoting a textbook. Padron:demo Textbooks often have no author listed, but only editors, as in this case. Here, the pages are compound, with a hyphen in the middle. To avoid the page number from being interpreted as a range of page numbers and displayed as pages 12-29, precede the page number with an exclamation point (!), which is a signal to respect the name of the parameter (otherwise |page= and |pages= are aliases of each other, with either one displaying as page or pages depending on the parameter value).

Chapter in an anthology

The following is a basic example of quoting a chapter in an anthology.

Padron:demo

The following is a similar example. Padron:demo Note the use of |chapter_number= to specify the chapter number along with the name.

The following is an example of citing a conference paper. Generally, they should be cited similarly to chapters in anthologies; in this case, the anthology is the conference proceedigs. Padron:demo Here, we identify a section within the paper by |section= and |section_number=. (You can also use |section_plain= if the section number should not be preceded by the word "section"; |chapter_plain= works similarly.)

Prefaces and commentaries

When quoting a preface, commentary of the like written by someone other than the primary author of a work, place the author of the quote in |author= and the primary author in |mainauthor=. An example follows: Padron:demo The book in question is a volume of collected works by the famous German mathematician Kurt Gödel, and what is being quoted is a section entitled Notes to *1970, where *1970 refers to what is commonly known as Godel's ontological proof (of the existence of God). The author of the note itself is Robert M. Solovay. Note that individual authors in a combined field such as |editors= can have Wikipedia and language prefixes (as well as inline modifiers).

Reprintings, translations and quoting one book in another

The following example is of a reprinting of a book: Padron:demo Here, the first set of parameters specify the original version and the second set the reprinting. |newversion= defaults to "republished [as]", so it does not need to be explicitly given.

The following is another smilar example: Padron:demo

The following example is of a book translated into English: Padron:demo Some comments:

When |original= is used like this, to indicate a translation, the original author can be placed either in the |author= or |by= field. The former is generally preferred in a straight translation, but the latter can be used in cases of free translation, annotated editions and the like.
Note also the use of |origyear= to indicate the year the original work was first published.
The |newversion= format described above can be used to quote translations, in place of using |original= and |by=. To use this, use |newversion=translated as, placing the information on the original work in the primary set of parameters and the information on the translation in the second set of parameters. In particular, this method must be used if more information is to be presented on the original work than merely its title, author and year.

The following example is another example of a book translated into English, this time using |newversion=: Padron:demo

The following example is of one book quoted in another, using |newversion= (which is preferred): Padron:demo The situation here is that the book Hegelianism and Personality by Andrew Seth (later known as Andrew Seth Pringle-Pattison), 2nd edition of 1893 (first edition published 1887), was quoted in Darwin and Hegel, with other Philosophical Studies by David George Ritchie, also published 1893. Note that (somewhat confusingly), the author of the |newversion= work (here, the quoting work) is placed in |2ndauthor= rather than |author2=. The reason for this is that |author2=, |author3=, etc. were originally used to specify additional authors of the primary work. This method is now deprecated and it is preferred to place all authors in the |author= field, semicolon-separated.

The following is the same example, expressed using |quotee= and |quoted_in=: Padron:demo Note in particular that (rather confusingly) the original author and title are placed in |quotee= and |title=, while the quoting author and title are placed in |author= and |quoted in=. No further fields are provided to express any other information about the original work other than the |others= field, into which all remaining information must be crammed. It is strongly recommended to avoid this format, but you will see existing examples using it.

The following is an example of a journal article reprinted in a book. Journal articles are actually expressed using Kamalian sa iskrip: Walang ganyang modulo na "template parser/templates"., but the same underlying code is used, making it possible to effectively use two different templates in the primary work and new version. To do that, use the |type2= field, in this case |type2=book: Padron:demo Note that if |type2=journal were used to quote a journal article reprinted in another journal, the article in the reprinting journal would be expressed using |title2= and the journal title in |journal2=. When |type2=book is used, |chapter2= and |title2= must be used instead. (|journal2= cannot be used, and in fact will throw an error.) Note also the use of [ and ], which are the HTML entities for left and right brackets ([...]) respectively. These are used to avoid parsing errors, as the call to Kamalian sa iskrip: Walang ganyang modulo na "template parser/templates". directly inside them expands to a raw link [[w:Galway Kinnell|Galway Kinnell]], and without the HTML entity, there would be three left brackets in a row, which would be misparsed.

Foreign-language examples

Quoted text in a foreign language: Padron:demo

Quoted text in a foreign language, of a book in a series: Padron:demo Here, the authors of this scholarly work were listed as "Paul Hoffmann, together with Stefan H. Brandenburger, Ulrike Brauner and Thomas Hieke", which we handle by listing the other authors as coauthors.

Quoted text with automatic transliteration: Padron:demo

Quoted text with automatic transliteration and use of |subst= and <subst:...>: Padron:demo

Quoted text with automatic transliteration, of a translation, with use of |original=, |origtext= and |origlang=: Padron:demo Here, the original text in English was freely translated into Russian, and so we present the original text along with a literal translation back into English. Usually with translations, we put the original author in the |author= field and the translator in the |tlr= field, but here due to the free translation we are treating the translator as the author and putting the original author in the |by= field. Note that the language of the original text is duplicated in both the |origtext= field (as a prefix) and the |origlang= field. This is necessary because the two fields serve different purposes, and the use of |origlang= may not always be correct (as in the following example).

Another example of quoted text from a translation, using |newversion=: Padron:demo Here, an original work in German was translated into Ottoman Turkish and used to illustrate an Ottoman Turkish term. The use of |newversion= allows full bibliographic information to be given for the original work as well as the translation. In such a case, the original text language is placed in |lang2= (or in some cases in |origlang2=, when there are two layers of translation).

Yet another example of quoted text from a translation, using both |original= and |newversion= to express two layers of translation: Padron:demo Here, an original work in Old Chinese (the Zhuang-zi) was translated into French as L'œuvre complète de Tchouang-tseu, and from there translated into Italian as Zhuang-zi [Chuang-tzu] (the brackets are in the original title). The template does not support two different |newversion= levels, but this can be expressed using a combination of |original= and |newversion=, as shown. Note also the use of the <f:...> modifier in the translator's name to express the original version in traditional Chinese characters and the Romanization in Pinyin.

The following example shows the use of |termlang= (to indicate a term in one language contained in a quotation in a different language) and |brackets= (to specify that the quotation presents a mention of a term rather than a use per se): Padron:demo
