Template:RQ:Austen Memoir

The following documentation is located at Template:RQ:Austen Memoir/documentation. ^[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote the work A Memoir of Jane Austen (2nd edition, 1871) by James Edward Austen-Leigh, the nephew of Jane Austen. This edition also contains two unfinished works by Jane Austen, Lady Susan and The Watsons. The template can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the HathiTrust Digital Library.

The template takes the following parameters:

|1= or |chapter= – mandatory in some cases:
- If quoting from the Memoir, the name of the chapter quoted from.
- If quoting from Lady Susan or The Watsons, either |chapter=Lady Susan or |chapter=The Watsons.
|letter= and |lettername= – Lady Susan is an epistolatory novel divided into letters. Use |letter= to specify the letter number in uppercase Roman numerals, and |lettername= to specify the name of the letter.
|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.
