Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Edmund Burke's works commonly known as Letters on a Regicide Peace (1st editions, 1796–1797; and 1826 version). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the works at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

• Letters I and II in Two Letters Addressed to a Member of the Present Parliament, on the Proposals for Peace with the Regicide Directory of France (1st edition, 1796).
• Letter III in A Third Letter to a Member, of the Present Parliament, on the Proposals for Peace with the Regicide Directory of France (1st edition, 1797).
• Letter IV, incomplete and published posthumously in The Works of the Right Honourable Edmund Burke (new edition, 1826, volume IX).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |letter= – mandatory: the letter number quoted from in Arabic numerals, from |letter=1 to |letter=4.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. 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 to have the template link to an online version of the work.

• |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the work.
• |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.
