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 George Cheyne's work An Essay on Regimen (1st edition, 1740). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

Parameters

[edit]

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 indicated in the first column:
Parameter value Result
Dedication To the Right Honourable the Earl of Huntingdon, &c.
Diet A Philosophical and Practical Essay on the General Method and Medicins, but particularly on the Regimen of Diet, []
Preface The Preface
As the dedication is unpaginated, use |1= or |page= 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/bim_eighteenth-century_an-essay-on-regimen-tog_cheyne-george_1740/page/n2/mode/1up, specify |page=2.
  • |subchapter= – the name of the subchapter quoted from.
  • |section= – the section number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
  • |1= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory : the page number(s) quoted from 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 to have the template determine the name of the chapter quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

Both the preface and "A Philosophical and Practical Essay on the General Method and Medicins, but particularly on the Regimen of Diet" start from page i.

  • |2=, |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.
