Template:RQ:Bunyan Grace Abounding

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Usage

[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote John Bunyan's work Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners (1st edition, 1666; and 7th edition, 1692). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |edition=mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 7th edition (1692), specify |edition=7th. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1666).
  • |chapter=
    • If quoting from the preface, specify |chapter=Preface. As it is unpaginated, use |1= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books or the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=6khpAAAAcAAJ&pg=PP7 specify |page=7, and if it is https://archive.org/details/bim_early-english-books-1641-1700_grace-abounding-to-the-c_bunyan-john_1666/page/n2/mode/1up specify |page=2.
    • If quoting from the main part of the work, in most cases if the page number is specified the template can determine the name of the chapter quoted from. However, it is unable to do so if page 86 or 94 in the 1st edition, and page 160, 172, 175, or 191 in the 7th edition, is specified, in which case use this parameter to specify the chapter name as indicated in the first column of the following table:

  • |para= or |paragraph= – the paragraph number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
  • |1= or |page=; or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
    • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
    • You must also use |pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the name of the chapter quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.
  • |2=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
  • |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
  • |brackets= – use |brackets=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.
