Template:RQ:Carlyle Schiller/documentation

Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Thomas Carlyle's work The Life of Friedrich Schiller (1st edition, 1825; and 2nd edition, 1873 printing). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

• 1st edition, 1825.
• 2nd edition, 1873 printing (archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |edition= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 2nd edition (1873 printing), specify |edition=2nd.
• |chapter= – as the work is divided into parts rather than chapters, if the page number is specified as indicated below the template will determine the part quoted from. However, use |chapter= to specify:
  • in the 2nd edition, |chapter=Preface if the preface is quoted from; and
  • in both editions, the name of a subsection of the appendix quoted from.
• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: 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 specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

You must specify this information to have the template determine the part of the work quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.

• |2=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the work.
• |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.
