Template:RQ:Fielding Pasquin/documentation

	Documentation for Template:RQ:Fielding Pasquin. [edit]
	This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Henry Fielding's work Pasquin. A Dramatick Satire on the Times (1st and 2nd editions, 1736). It may be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

• 1st edition (1736).
• 2nd edition (1736; archived at the Internet Archive).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |edition= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 2nd edition (1736), specify |edition=2nd. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1736).
• |chapter= – if quoting from the epilogue, specify |chapter=Epilogue.
• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. 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: |pages=10–11.
  • 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 determine the act number (I–V) quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.

• |act= – mandatory in some cases: if the page number is specified, the template can usually determine the act number quoted from. It is unable to do so if page 13, 27, or 40 is specified, in which case this parameter must be used to specify the act number in uppercase Roman numerals, like this: |act=I.

• |scene= – the scene number quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals. As these are not clearly indicated in the 1st or 2nd edition, obtain them from a modern edition of the work.
• |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.
