Template:RQ:Thomson Works/documentation

Usage
This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from a collection of James Thomson's works called The Works of James Thomson (1st edition, 1750, 4 volumes; 1762 edition, 2 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books:


 * 1st edition (1750):
 * Volume I (The Seasons).
 * Volume II (Liberty, The Castle of Indolence, and Poems on Several Occasions).
 * Volume III (Sophonisba, Agamemnon, and Alfred).
 * Volume IV (Edward and Eleonora, Tancred and Sigismunda, and Coriolanus).
 * 1762 edition:
 * Volume I (with "An Account of the Life and Writings of Mr. James Thomson" by ).
 * Volume II.

If a specific quotation template is available for a particular work (for example, ), use that template in preference to this one.

Parameters
The template takes the following parameters:


 * year – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1762 edition, specify 1762.
 * 1 or volume – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals; in the 1st edition (1750) from I to IV, and in the 1762 edition either I or II.
 * 2, chapter, or title – mandatory: the chapter name or title of the specific work quoted from. If the parameter is given the value shown in the first column of the following table, the template will display what is indicated in the second column, and will provide a link to an English Wikipedia article about the specific work if available:


 * For help with adding other works or links to other Wikipedia articles, leave a message on the talk page or at "Grease pit".


 * section – a section that a work is subdivided into, for example: canto I, Act I, scene i, or stanza 1.
 * 3 or page, or pages – mandatory in some cases: the page or range of pages quoted from, either in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals as indicated in the work. 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: 110–111 or x–xi.
 * 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 link to the online versions of the work.


 * line or lines – the line number(s) of the passage quoted.
 * 4, text, or passage – the passage to be quoted.
 * footer – a comment about 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.
