Template:RQ:Southey Common-place Book/documentation

Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to quote from Robert Southey's work Southey's Common-place Book (1st edition, 1849–1850, 4 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

• Volume I.
• Volume II (contents).
• Volume III (contents).
• Volume IV (contents).

This work consists of Southey's compilation of quotations from other works. If a quotation template for a specific work which is quoted exists, use it instead of this template.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |series= – mandatory: the series number quoted from in Arabic numerals, from |series=1 to |series=4.
• |2= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from.
• |year= – the year when the passage quoted was published, if known.
• |para= or |paragraph= – the paragraph number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: 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=v–vi.
  • 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).

You must specify this information to have the template determine the part of a work quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.

• |column= or |columns= – the column number(s) quoted from, either |column=1 or |column=2. If quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or separate the column numbers with an en dash, like this: |columns=1–2.
• |4=, |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.
