Template:RQ:John Gay Poems/documentation

Usage
This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from a collection of 's works entitled Poems on Several Occasions (1st edition, 1720, 2 volumes). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive):


 * Volume I (Rural Sports, The Fan, The Shepherd's Week, Trivia, The What D'Ye Call It).
 * Volume II (poems; Dione).

(Both volumes are in the same file.) Where a specific quotation template exists (for example, ), use it instead of this template.

Parameters
The template takes the following parameters:


 * scene or subtitle – if quoting from The What D'Ye Call It in volume I, the scene number in uppercase Roman numerals, or the name of the subtitle.
 * 1, chapter, or poem – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from one of the poems in volume II, the name of the poem.


 * act and scene – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from Dione in volume II, the act number in uppercase Roman numerals and the scene number in lowercase Roman numerals.
 * line or lines – the line number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of numbers, separate the first and last numbers of the range with an en dash, like this: 10–11.
 * 2 or page, or pages – mandatory: 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: 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 determine the name of the title quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.


 * 3, text, or passage – a passage to be quoted from the work.
 * footer – a comment on the passage quoted.
 * brackets – use 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.
