Template:RQ:Dickens Uncommercial Traveller/documentation

Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Charles Dickens's work The Uncommercial Traveller (1st collected edition, 1861; and new edition, 1866). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

• 1st collected edition (1861; contents).
• New edition (1866; contents; archived at the Internet Archive) – contains new chapters.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |edition= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the new edition (1866), specify |edition=new.
• |2= or |chapter= – mandatory: the name of the chapter quoted from.

The Uncommercial Traveller

Chapter	First page number
	1st collected edition (1861)	New edition (1866)
His General Line of Business	page 1	page 1
Titbull’s Alms-houses (24 October 1863)	—	page 190
Travelling Abroad	page 89	page 42

• |column= or |columns= – if quoting from the new edition, the column number(s) quoted from, either |column=1 or |column=2. If quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or separate the column numbers with an en dash, like this: |columns=1–2.
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. 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.
  • 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 link toan online version of the work.

• |4=, |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.
