Template:RQ:London White Fang/documentation

Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Jack London's work The Call of the Wild (1st edition, 1906). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive and the English Wikisource:

• Internet Archive version.
• English Wikisource version.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

Internet Archive version

• |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from.
• |2= 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 part of the work (1–5) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work. If this parameter is omitted, the template will link to the English Wikisource version.

English Wikisource version

• |part= – mandatory: the part number quoted from in Arabic numerals, from |part=1 to |part=5.
• |1= or |chapter= – the chapter number quoted from in Arabic numerals, which start from 1 in each part of the work.

Both versions

• |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.
