Template:RQ:Eliot Life/documentation

Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote George Eliot's work George Eliot's Life as Related in Her Letters and Journals (1st edition, 1885, 3 volumes), arranged and edited by her husband John Walter Cross. It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

• Volume I (1819–1857).
• Volume II (1858–1866).
• Volume III (1867–1880).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |author= – if quoting from a part of the work by the editor John Walter Cross, specify |author=Cross.
• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=III.
• |date=, or (|month= and) |year= – if the date of a letter quoted from is known, use |date= to specify it in the format 18 August 1838 or August 18, 1838. If only the month and year, or year alone, of the sermon is known, use |month= and/or |year= to specify this information.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. 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 or |pages=x–xi.
  • 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).

You must specify this information to have the template determine the name of the chapter quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.

• |3=, |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.
