Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote John Ruskin's work Fors Clavigera. Letters to the Workmen and Labourers of Great Britain. (1st collected edition, 1871–1884, 8 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

Volume I (letters I–XII). Volume II (letters XIII–XXIV). Volume III (letters XXV–XXXVI). Volume IV (letters XXXVII–XLVIII).

Volume V (letters XLIX–LX). Volume VI (letters LXI–LXXII). Volume VII (letters LXXIII–LXXXIV). Volume VIII (letters 85–96).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |letter= – mandatory: the letter number quoted from:
  • If quoting from volumes I–VII, specify the letter number in uppercase Roman numerals.
  • If quoting from volume VIII, specify the letter number in Arabic numerals, as indicated in the work.

This parameter must be specified for the template to determine the volume number (I–VIII) quoted from.

• |chapter= or |lettername= – if quoting from a letter in volume VIII, the name of the letter.
• |subchapter= – if quoting from a subchapter, the name of the subchapter quoted from; for example, |subchapter=Notes and Correspondence.
• |date= – the date of the letter, if stated, in one of the following formats: |date=1 January 1871 or |date=January 1, 1871.
• |2= 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).

This parameter must be specified to have the template link to an online version of the work.

In volumes I–III, the pagination starts from 1 in each letter. Thus, use |pageref= 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/forsclavigeralet01ruskrich/page/n8/mode/1up, specify |pageref=8.

• |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.

    In old times, if a Coniston peasant had any business at Ulverstone, he walked to Ulverstone; spent nothing but shoe-leather on the road, drank at the streams, and if he spent a couple of batz when he got to Ulverstone, "it was the end of the world." But now, he would never think of doing such a thing! He first walks three miles in a contrary direction, to a railroad station, and then travels by railroad twenty-four miles to Ulverstone, paying two shillings fare.
