Template:RQ:Thomson Seasons/documentation

Usage
This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote James Thomson's work The Seasons (1st collected edition, 1730; and 1768 version), which contain revisions to the poems since they were first published. It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:


 * 1st collected edition (1730).
 * 1768 version (archived at the Internet Archive).

Where possible, use, , and to quote from the 1st editions of those poems instead of this template.

Parameters
The template takes the following parameters:


 * year – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1768 version, specify 1768. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st collected edition (1730).
 * 1 or page, or pages – mandatory: 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: 10–11 or x–xi.
 * 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 indicate the chapter or poem quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.


 * line or lines – the line number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of lines, separate the first and last numbers of the range with an en dash.
 * stanza – the stanza number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
 * 2, 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.
