Usage edit

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote John Locke's work An Essay Concerning Humane Understanding (1st edition, 1689 (indicated as 1690); and 2nd edition, 1690). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

Parameters edit

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |edition= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 2nd edition (1694), specify |edition=2nd. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1689 (indicated as 1690)).
  • |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from. If quoting from the epistle dedicatory to Thomas Herbert, 8th Earl of Pembroke, specify |chapter=Epistle Dedicatory, and if quoting from "The Epistle to the Reader" specify |chapter=The Epistle to the Reader. As these chapters are unpaginated, use |2= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books or 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=VKVdAAAAcAAJ&pg=PP7 specify |page=7, and if it is https://archive.org/details/bim_early-english-books-1641-1700_an-essay-concerning-huma_locke-john_1694/page/n4/mode/1up specify |page=4.
  • |section= – 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 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 book (I–IV) quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.

In the 2nd edition, page numbers 95 and 96 are repeated; the text is unaffected. If quoting from the second set of numbers, specify them as |page=95A and |page=96A.

  • |3=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
  • |footer= – a comment about 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.
