Template:RQ:Mather Magnalia Christi/documentation

Usage
This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from 's work Magnalia Christi Americana: Or, the Ecclesiastical History of New-England, from Its First Planting in the Year 1620. unto the Year of Our Lord, 1698 (1st edition, 1702). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

Parameters
The template takes the following parameters:


 * author – if the part of the work quoted from is by someone other than Mather, use this parameter to specify the author's name.
 * 1 or book – mandatory: the book number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from I to VII.
 * 2 or chapter, and/or chaptername –
 * if quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give 2 or chapter the value indicated in the first column:


 * As these chapters are unpaginated, use 3 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 is, specify 8.


 * In other cases, use 2 or chapter to specify the chapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, and/or chaptername to specify the name of the chapter.
 * date, or (month and) year – if the part of the work quoted from is separately dated, use date to specify it in the format  or  . The date will be converted from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. If only the month and year, or year alone, of the sermon is known, use month and/or year to specify this information.
 * 3 or page, or pages – mandatory in some cases: 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: 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 determine, in book V, the part number (1st–4th) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.


 * The pagination starts from 1 in each book.
 * In book IV, page numbers 1–124 are not used; the text is unaffected.


 * column or columns – the column number(s) quoted from, either 1 or 2. If quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or separate the column numbers with an en dash, like this: 1–2.
 * 4, text, or passage – the passage to be quoted.
 * 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.
