Template:RQ:Doyle Challenger/documentation

Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from a collected edition of Arthur Conan Doyle's Professor Challenger works entitled The Professor Challenger Stories (1st edition, 1952). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the edition at the Internet Archive.

The following works appear in the edition:

Title	First page number
The Lost World (published April–November 1912) Where possible, use {{RQ:Doyle Lost World}}.	page 1
The Poison Belt (1913) Where possible, use {{RQ:Doyle Poison Belt}}	page 215
The Land of Mist (1926) Where possible, use {{RQ:Doyle Land of Mist}}.	page 301
The Disintegration Machine (January 1929)	page 527
When the World Screamed (25 February – 3 March 1928)	page 545

Where a specific quotation template for a work exists as indicated in the table above, use it instead of this template.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |chapter= and |chaptername= – if a work is divided into chapters, use |chapter= to specify the chapter number in Arabic numerals and |chaptername= to specify the name of the chapter.
• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: 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 determine the name of the work quoted from, and to link to the online version of the edition.

• |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.
