Template:RQ:Wodehouse Small Bachelor/documentation

Usage

This template can be used to indicate quotations from P. G. Wodehouse's work The Small Bachelor (1st edition, 1927; and 13th edition, 1950). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

• 1st edition (1927) [not currently available online].
• 13th edition (1950).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |edition= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 13th edition (1950), specify |edition=13th. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1927).
• |1= or |chapter= – the chapter number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
• |section= – each chapter is divided into sections. Use this parameter to specify the section number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
• |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.
