Template:RQ:Southey Madoc/documentation

Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Robert Southey's work Madoc (1st edition, 1805). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |canto= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the main part of the work, the canto number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting from the preface, specify the page number(s) in lowercase Roman numerals. 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=vii–viii.
  • 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 quoted from (the preface, part I or II, or the notes), and to link to the online version of the work.

Pages numbers 435 and 436 are not used in the work; the text is unaffected.

• |2=, |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.
