Template:RQ:Defoe Subordination/documentation

Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Daniel Defoe's work The Great Law of Subordination Consider'd; or, The Insolence and Unsufferable Behaviour of Servants in England Duly Enquir'd into (1st edition, 1724). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11 or |pages=i–ij.
  • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the part of the work (the preface, letter I–X, or the conclusion), and to link to the online version of the work.

• |letter= – in most cases, if the page number is specified the template can determine the letter quoted from. It is unable to do so if page 257 is specified, in which case this parameter must be used to specify the letter number in uppercase Roman numerals, either |letter=VIII or |letter=IX.
• |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.
