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.
