Template:RQ:Ruth Thompson Royal Book of Oz

The following documentation is located at Template:RQ:Ruth Thompson Royal Book of Oz/documentation. ^[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from Ruth Plumly Thompson's work The Royal Book of Oz (1st edition, 1922); although it is credited to L. Frank Baum, it was written by Thompson. The template can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the HathiTrust Digital Library.

The template takes the following parameters:

|1= or |chapter= – 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.

|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.
