Cite wikisource functions

This template uses {{Cite wikisource}} and can use some additional parameters from that template if necessary. The most useful of these are:

• wspage: Page number in the original book. This will link to the anchor corresponding to the page at Wikisource; although that will only be noticeable for longer entries.
  • page: This will display the page number but not link to wikisource.
• scan: Link to the page scan at Wikisource. Must include the full pagename, including the Page: namespace.
• quote: A quote from the book. A potential alternative to the comment parameter.

Example

" Shakespeare, William". A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature. London: J. M. Dent & Sons. Wikisource.  p. 350.
