Template:RQ:Wells Short Stories/documentation

Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote H. G. Wells's work The Short Stories of H. G. Wells (1st edition, 1927). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

Wherever possible, use a specific quotation template (such as {{RQ:Wells Time Machine}}) to indicate a quotation; use this template only if such a template is not available.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1=, |chapter=, or |story= – mandatory: the name of the chapter or story quoted from. If the parameter is given the value shown in the first column of the following table, the template links to an English Wikipedia article about the story as shown in the second column:

Parameter value	Result
The Beautiful Suit	The Beautiful Suit
The Country of the Blind	The Country of the Blind
The Empire of the Ants	The Empire of the Ants
The Land Ironclads	The Land Ironclads
The Pearl of Love	The Pearl of Love
The Time Machine	The Time Machine
A Vision of Judgment	A Vision of Judgment

For help with linking other Wikipedia articles and their dates of publication to the template, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".

• |section= – the section number quoted from in Arabic numerals, and section name if any.
• |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=110–111.
  • 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 link to the online version of the work.

• |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted from the work.
• |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.
