Documentation for Template:RQ:Le Fanu Wylder's Hand. [edit]
This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

Usage[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Sheridan Le Fanu's work Wylder's Hand (1865 edition; and a new edition, 1871); the 1st edition (London: Richard Bentley, 1864; 3 volumes; →OCLC) is not currently available online. The template can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

Parameters[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |edition=mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the new edition (1871), specify |edition=new.
  • |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from.
  • |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=110–111.
    • 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 link to an online version of the work.
  • |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted from the work.
  • |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.
