Usage
[edit]This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Thomas Paine's work Common Sense (1st edition, 1776). 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:
|1=or|page=, or|pages=– mandatory: 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).
- Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this:
- 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.
|chapter=– mandatory in some cases: in most cases, if the page number is specified the template can determine the name of the chapter or title quoted from. However, it is unable to do so if the introduction is quoted from, or page 12 or 29 is specified, in which case the parameter must be given the value indicated in the first column of the following table:
| Parameter value | Result | First page number |
|---|---|---|
| Introduction | Introduction | unnumbered page |
| 1 | Of the Origin and Design of Government in General, with Concise Remarks on the English Constitution | page 1 |
| 2 | Of Monarchy and Hereditary Succession | page 12 |
| 3 | Thoughts, on the Present State of American Affairs | page 29 |
| — | Of the Present Ability of America, with Some Miscellaneous Reflections | page 61 |
- As the introduction 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 ishttps://archive.org/details/commonsenseaddre00pain_2/page/n8/mode/1up, specify|page=8.
|2=,|text=, or|passage=– the passage to be quoted.|footer=– a comment on the passage quoted.|brackets=– use|brackets=onto 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.
