Documentation for Template:RQ:Burroughs Mucker. [edit]
This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

Usage

edit

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Edgar Rice Burroughs' work The Mucker (1st collected edition, 1921). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the HathiTrust Digital Library (archived at the Internet Archive).

Part I of the work contains what was originally published as The Mucker, and part II The Return of the Mucker.

Parameters

edit

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |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 a range of pages, note the following:
    • Separate the first and last page number 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 determine the part number (I or II) quoted from, and to 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.
