Template:RQ:Landor Gebir/documentation

Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Walter Savage Landor's work Gebir; a Poem (1st edition, 1798; and 2nd edition, 1803). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

• 1st edition (1798).
• 2nd edition (1803; archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |edition= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 2nd edition (1803), specify |edition=2nd. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1798).
• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. 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 or |pages=i–ii.
  • 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 of the work quoted from (preface, or books I–VII), and to link to an online version of the work.

• |line= or |lines= – the line number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of numbers, separate the first and last numbers of the range with an en dash, like this: |lines=10–11.
• |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.
