Template:RQ:Stanley History of Philosophy/documentation

Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Thomas Stanley's work The History of Philosophy (1st edition, 1655–1660, 3 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books:

• Volume I (archived at the Internet Archive).
• Volume II (archived at the Internet Archive).
• Volume III (archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in Roman numerals, |volume=I, |volume=II, or |volume=III.
• |2= or |section= – mandatory in some cases: the work is divided into named sections. Use this parameter to specify the name of the section quoted from, for example, |section=[[w:Thales of Miletus|Thales]]. For the sections indicated in the second column of the following table, specify what is indicated in the first column:

Parameter value	Result
Volume III
Chaldaick Philosophy	The History of the Chaldaick Philosophy
Chaldaick Oracles	The Chaldaick Oracles of Zoroaster and His Followers. […]

For help with adding other sections to the template, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".

• |part= – mandatory in some cases: each volume of the work is subdivided into parts. Use this parameter to specify the part number quoted from in Arabic numerals. As the pagination in volumes I and II restarts from 1 in each part, this parameter must be specified for the template to link to the correct page.
• |chapter= and |chaptername= – each section is subdivided into chapters. Use |chapter= to specify the chapter number in uppercase Roman numerals, and |chaptername= the name of the chapter.
• |subsection= – the number and name of any other subsection quoted from: see the example below.
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: 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).

You must specify this information to have the template link to an online version of the work.

In volume II, the pagination of the pages before page 7 is erratic. Indicate the page numbers as shown in the following table:

Page number as printed	Page number to specify	Page number as printed	Page number to specify
1	1	[unnumbered]	4A
2	2	5	5
3	3	[unnumbered]	5A
[unnumbered]	3A	4	5B
4	4	[unnumbered]	6

• |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.
