Template:RQ:Universal Dictionary/documentation

Usage
This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from the work  (1st edition, 1703, 2 volumes), the first English reference work to present general information in an alphabetical format. It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:


 * Volume I (A–L).
 * Volume II (M–Z).

Parameters
The template takes the following parameters:


 * volume – the template will attempt to determine the volume number based on the first letter of the entry or headword quoted from. If the template is not doing so correctly, use this parameter to specify the correct volume number in uppercase Roman numerals, either I or II.
 * 1 or entry – mandatory: the entry or headword in the work to be quoted from. If this parameter is omitted, the template uses the name of the Wiktionary entry. The entry will be automatically formatted; to override this and use wikitext to format the entry differently, specify 1 or yes.
 * 2 or page – mandatory in some cases: as the work is unpaginated, use this parameter 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 19. You must specify this information to have the template link to an online version of the work.
 * column or columns – the column number(s) quoted from in Arabic numerals. When quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or separate the numbers with an en dash, like this: 1–2.
 * 3 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.
