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

Usage

[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Ralph Waldo Emerson's work Selected Poems (new edition, 1876), which contains poems previously published in Poems (1847) and May-Day and Other Pieces (1867) with some additions and omissions. It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work (contents) at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).

Where a poem has been published in either {{RQ:Emerson Poems}} or {{RQ:Emerson May-Day}}, use those quotation templates instead of this one.

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1=, |chapter=, or |poem=mandatory: the name of the "chapter" or poem quoted from. If quoting from the poem indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

  • |stanza= – the stanza number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. 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.
    • 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).
This information must be specified to have the template link to the 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.
