Template:RQ:More Observations/documentation

Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from Henry More's works Observations upon Anthroposophia Theomagica, and Anima Magica Abscondita and The Second Lash of Alazonomastix (1655); the 1st editions (Observations, [London]: […] O. Pullen […], 1650; →OCLC; Second Lash, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire: […] [P]rinters to the University of Cambridge, 1651; →OCLC) are not currently available online. The template can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books:

• Observations upon Anthroposophia Theomagica, and Anima Magica Abscondita.
• The Second Lash of Alazonomastix.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |section= – if quoting from the main part of the works, the section number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |observation= – if quoting from the main part of the works, the observation number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
• |chapter= – if quoting from other parts of the works, the name of the chapter quoted from.
• |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 indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.

• Page numbers 1–64 are not used, as this edition was annexed to {{RQ:More Enthusiasmus Triumphatus}}.
• Although pages 65–68, 146–164, and 288–292 are unpaginated, refer to them using those page numbers.

• |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.
