Usage[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Robert Louis Stevenson and Fanny Van de Grift Stevenson's work More New Arabian Nights: The Dynamiter (1st edition, 1885). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work (contents) at the Internet Archive.

Parameters[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1=, |chapter=, or |story=mandatory: the name of the chapter or story quoted from.
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: 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: |pages=10–11.
    • 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 online version of the work.
  • |3=, |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.

Examples[edit]

  • Wikitext:
    • {{RQ:Stevenson Dynamiter|chapter=Story of the Destroying Angel|page=45|passage=I flung myself before him on my knees, and with floods of tears besought him to release me from this engagement, assuring him that my cowardice was abject, and that in every point of intellect and character I was his hopeless and '''derisible''' inferior.}}; or
