This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Edward Bulwer-Lytton's work A Strange Story (1st collected edition, 1862, 2 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:
The template takes the following parameters:
|1=
or |volume=
– mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=I
or |volume=II
.|2=
or |chapter=
– the chapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals. The chapter number starts from I in each volume.|3=
or |page=
, or |pages=
– mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
|pages=10–11
.|pageref=
to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).|4=
, |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.{{RQ:Bulwer-Lytton Strange Story|volume=I|chapter=I|page=1|passage=On becoming a member of the College of Physicians, I made a tour of the principal cities of Europe, taking letters of introduction to eminent medical men; and gathering from many theories and modes of treatment, hints to enlarge the foundations of '''unprejudiced''' and comprehensive practice, I had resolved to fix my ultimate residence in London.}}
