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

Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Ralph Robinson's English translation (the first thereof) of Thomas More's work Utopia (1st edition, 1551). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

|chapter= – if quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value specified in the first column:

Parameter value	Result
`Epistle`	To the Right Honourable, and His Verie Singuler Good Maister, Maister William Lecylle Esquiere, […]
`More Epistle`	Thomas More to Peter Giles Sẽdeth Gretynge

|sig= or |signature=, and |verso= – as the work is unpaginated, if desired the page(s) of the work quoted from can be identified by their signature numbers which appear at the bottom centre of some pages. If quoting from a verso (left-hand) page, specify |verso=1 or |verso=yes; if this parameter is omitted the template indicates that a recto (right-hand) page is quoted from. If quoting a range of signatures, for example, "signatures B.i., verso – B.ii., recto", use |sig= or |signature=, and |verso=, to specify the signature at the start of the range, and |sigend= or |signature_end=, and |versoend=, (if required) to specify the signature at the end of the range.
|1= or |page= – mandatory: as the work is unpaginated, use this parameter to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/frutefulpleasaun00more/page/n10/mode/1up, specify |page=10. This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the book number (1st or 2nd) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
|subchapter= – the 2nd book is divided into a number of subchapters. Use this parameter to specify the name of the subchapter quoted from.
|2=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
|footer= – a comment about 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.
