	Documentation for Template:RQ:Chambers Cyclopaedia. ^[edit]
	This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Ephraim Chambers' Cyclopædia: Or, An Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences (1st edition, 1728; and 2nd edition, 1738, each in 2 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

1st edition (1728)

2nd edition (1738)

The template takes the following parameters:

|2= or |page=, or |pages= – use one of these parameters to specify the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=110–111.
|pageurl= or |url= – mandatory in some cases: the URL of the webpage at the Internet Archive on which the passage to be quoted appears, like this: |url=https://archive.org/details/gri_33125011113764/page/n44/mode/1up. The URL must be manually specified as erratic numbering of the webpages means the template cannot automatically determine the correct webpage address. You must specify this information to have the template link to the online version of the work.

|edition= – mandatory: if quoting from the 2nd edition (1738), |edition=2nd must be specified.
|2= or |page= – mandatory in some cases: as the work is unpaginated, use these parameters to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=bKtqgJw9DiAC&pg=PP39, specify |page=39. The URL is linked to the entry or headword. You must specify this information to have the template link to the online version of the work.

|1= or |entry= – the entry or headword in the work to be quoted from. If this parameter is omitted, the template uses the name of the Wiktionary entry.
|column= or |columns= – the column number(s) to be quoted from in Arabic numerals, either |column=1 or |column=2. When referring to a passage that spans both columns, use an en dash like this: |columns=1–2.
|3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted from the work.
|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.
