Template:RQ:Young Brothers/documentation

Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Edward Young's work The Brothers. A Tragedy. (1st edition, 1753). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books ([https://archive.org/details/bim_eighteenth-century_the-brothers-a-tragedy_young-edward_1753/mode/1up archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |chapter= – if quoting from the prologue written by Robert Dodsley specify |chapter=Prologue, and if quoting from the epilogue specify |chapter=Epilogue. As the epilogue is unpaginated, use |1= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=vdBZAAAAcAAJ&pg=PT2, specify |page=2. (The prologue is also unpaginated but the template can determine the URL.)
• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: 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 specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified for the template to determine the act number (I-V) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

Act I pages 1–16

Act II pages 17–27

Act III pages 28–45

Act IV pages 46–66

Act V pages 67–83

• |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.
