Template:RQ:Mayhew London Labour

The following documentation is located at Template:RQ:Mayhew London Labour/documentation. ^[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Henry Mayhew's work London Labour and the London Poor (1st edition, 1851–1861, 4 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

The template takes the following parameters:

|1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=IV.
|2= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from. If quoting from the introduction in volume IV by William Tuckniss, specify |chapter=Introduction.
|3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from, either 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 or |pages=x–xi.
- 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 for the template to link to an online version of the work.

|column= or |columns= – the column number quoted from, either |column=1 or |column=2. If quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or use an en dash to separate the column numbers, like this: |columns=1–2.
|4=, |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.
