Template:RQ:Foote Minor/documentation

Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Samuel Foote's work The Minor, a Comedy (1st edition, 1760). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |chapter= – if quoting from the dedication, specify |chapter=Dedication. As it is unpaginated, use |1= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=_BpWAAAAYAAJ&pg=PP9, specify |page=9.
• |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).

This parameter must be specified for the template to determine the introduction or the act number (I–III) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

Introduction pages 1–10

Act I pages 11–47

Act II pages 48–73

Act III pages 74–91

• |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.
