Usage edit

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote John Locke's work Some Thoughts Concerning Education (1st edition, 1693; and 3rd edition, 1695). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books:

Parameters edit

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |edition=mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 3rd edition (1695), specify |edition=3rd.
  • |chapter= – if quoting from the epistle dedicatory, specify |chapter=Epistle Dedicatory. As this chapter is unpaginated, use |2= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=OCUCAAAAQAAJ&pg=PP11, specify |page=11.
  • |1= or |section=mandatory: the section number quoted from in Arabic numerals. (The 1st edition of the work is divided into 202 sections, and the 3rd edition into 217.)
  • |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 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 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.
