Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Erasmus Darwin's work The Temple of Nature; or, The Origin of Society (1st edition, 1803). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |chapter= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the "Additional Notes", this parameter must be used to specify the "chapter" or part of the notes quoted from.
• |section= – the work is divided into cantos, and each canto is subdivided into sections. Use this parameter to specify the section number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: 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).

You must specify this information to have the template determine the canto number (I–IV) 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.
• |2=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment on the paassge 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.
