{{SmithDGRA|author=George Long|article=Praetor|page=956-957|year=1875}}

:

The above expands as follows:

: This article incorporates text by George Long from the article "Praetor" in the public domain Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities by William Smith (1875), p. 956-957.

:

This says "p." instead of "pp.", as if there were just one page. It also has a hyphen where an en-dash belongs. I tried to correct it by changing "page" to "pages" and the hyphen to an en-dash:

:

{{SmithDGRA|author=George Long|article=Praetor|pages=956–957|year=1875}}

:

No page numbers!

:

If I correct only the dash, it works:

:

{{SmithDGRA|author=George Long|article=Praetor|page=956–957|year=1875}}

Obviously "pages" needs to get fixed. Michael Hardy (talk) 11:31, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

::This template currently does not have a "pages" parameter. I may try to add one if I have the time. Paul August ☎ 12:56, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

:::I have now added a "pages" parameter, so that:

::::{{SmithDGRA|author=George Long|article=Praetor|pages=956–957|year=1875}}

:::now expands as:

::::{{SmithDGRA|author=George Long|article=Praetor|pages=956–957|year=1875}}

The documentation states that the parameter "article" is optional and the template is used without any parameters in some articles, but it currently ends up calling {{tl|cite encyclopedia}} erroneously without its required "title" parameter in that case instead of rendering it as a citation of the whole publication. – MwGamera (talk) 00:42, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
