Template:RQ:Wells Time Machine/documentation

Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote H. G. Wells's work The Time Machine (1st (US) edition, 1895; and 1949 UK edition). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

• 1st (US) edition (1895).
• 1949 UK edition – a republication of the 1st UK edition (1895), which differed from the 1st US edition.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |edition= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the UK edition, specify |edition=UK. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st (US) edition.
• |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=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.
