Template:RQ:Bulwer-Lytton Last of the Barons

The following documentation is located at Template:RQ:Bulwer-Lytton Last of the Barons/documentation. ^[edit]

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Edward Bulwer-Lytton's work The Last of the Barons (1st edition, 1843, 3 volumes; George Routledge and Sons edition, 1843, 1 volume). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books, the HathiTrust Digital Library and the Internet Archive:

1st edition (1843):
- Volume I (books I–III; archived at the Internet Archive).
- Volume II (books IV–VII; archived at the Internet Archive).
- Volume III (books VIII–XII) [poor quality – replace with a better copy if available].
George Routledge and Sons edition (1843).

The template takes the following parameters:

|edition= – mandatory: if quoting from the 1st edition (1843), specify |edition=1st. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the George Routledge and Sons edition as only a poor-quality scan of volume III of the 1st edition is currently available.
|volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=III.

|column= or |columns= – the column number(s) quoted from in Arabic numerals, either |column=1 or |column=2. If quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or separate the column numbers with an en dash, like this: |columns=1–2.

|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. If quoting from the dedicatory epistle or preface, specify the page number(s) in lowercase Roman numerals. 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 or |pages=x–xi.
- 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 number (I–XII) quoted from, and to link to an 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.
