Usage[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from an English translation of Karel Čapek's work R.U.R. (1920) by Paul Selver, entitled R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots): A Fantastic Melodrama (1923). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the English Wikisource and the Internet Archive:

Parameters[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the Internet Archive version, the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
    • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11 or |pages=vii–viii.
    • 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 link to the Internet Archive version of the work, and to determine the chapter or act number (I–III) quoted from. If this parameter is omitted, the template links to the English Wikisource version.
  • |section= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the English Wikisource version, if quoting from the part of the work indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:
Parameter value Result
The Cast of the Theatre Guild Production The Cast of the Theatre Guild Production
Introduction Introduction (written 19 December 1922)
Characters Characters
Act 1 Act 1
Act 2 Act 2
Act 3 Act 3
Epilogue Epilogue
  • |2=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
  • |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
  • |brackets= – use |brackets=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.
