Template:RQ:Erasmus Darwin Botanic Garden/documentation

Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Erasmus Darwin's work The Botanic Garden (1st collected edition, 1791). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive:

• Part I (The Economy of Vegetation).
• Part II (The Loves of the Plants).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |part= – mandatory:
  • Specify the part number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |part=I or |part=II.
  • If quoting from the "Additional Notes" in part I, specify |part=Additional Notes and use |section= to specify the section quoted from, like this: |section=Note I.—Meteors.
• |stanza= – the poem in part I is divided into stanzas. Use this parameter to specify the stanza number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |footnote= – if quoting from a footnote, specify |footnote=1 or |footnote=yes.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting from a page numbered with a Roman numeral, indicate the page number in lowercase letters, like this: |page=x. Note that the page numbering restarts from 1 in each part of the work, and in the "Additional Notes" in part I. 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 indicate the canto number or other part of the work quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

• |line= or |lines= – the line number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of line numbers, separate the first and last numbers of the range with an en dash.
• |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a 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.
