Template:RQ:Harrington Oceana/documentation

Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote James Harrington's work The Commonwealth of Oceana (1st edition, 1656). 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:

• |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from. If quoting from the "Epistle to the Reader" or "The Introduction or Order of the Work", specify |chapter=Epistle or |chapter=Introduction respectively. As the introduction is unpaginated, use |2= 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=Wt4SZvyCVSwC&pg=PP13, specify |page=13. (The "Epistle to the Reader" is also unpaginated, but the template is able to determine the URL.)
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number 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.

• The page numbers indicated in the second column of the following table are misprinted; the text is unaffected. If quoting from one of these pages, specify the correct page number indicated in the first column:

Correct page number	Incorrect page number		Correct page number	Incorrect page number
123	*213		189	*190
174	*147		264	*254
188	*189

• After page 286, page numbers 189–210 are reused; the text is unaffected. If quoting from these pages, specify them as |page=189A to |page=210A.

• |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the book.
• |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.
