	Documentation for Template:RQ:Swift Gulliver's Travels. [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 Jonathan Swift's work Gulliver's Travels (1st edition, 1726, 2 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the works at the Internet Archive:

• Volume I (part I (page 1–148) and part II (page 149–310)).
• Volume II (part III (page 1–154) and part IV (page 155–353)).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |part= – mandatory: the part of the work quoted in uppercase Roman numerals, |part=I, |part=II, |part=III, or |part=IV. The template determines the volume of the work quoted from based on the part number specified.
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page or range of pages quoted from. Note that in part II, pages 176–180 are incorrectly numbered. Specify the correct page number shown in the second column of the following table (omitting the brackets which will be inserted by the template) instead of the incorrect number in the first column:

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 chapter quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.

Note that in part III chapter VII is incorrectly numbered as chapter V (page 94).

• |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.
