Template:RQ:Southey Thalaba/documentation

Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Robert Southey's work Thalaba the Destroyer (1st edition, 1801; 2nd edition, 1809). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books:

1st edition (1801) Volume I (1st–5th books; archived at the Internet Archive). Volume II (6th–12th books; archived at the Internet Archive).

2nd edition (1809) Volume I (1st–5th books, with notes; archived at the Internet Archive). Volume II (6th–12th books, with notes; archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |edition= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 2nd edition, specify |edition=2nd.
• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=I or |volume=II.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting from the notes, 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=x–xi.
  • 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, the 1st–12th books, and in the case of the 2nd edition the notes to the books), and to link to an 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.
