This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

Usage

[edit]

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Susanna Centlivre's work The Man's Bewitch'd; or, The Devil to Do about Her (1737); the 1st edition (London: [] Bernard Lintott, 1709; →OCLC) is not currently available online. The template may be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |chapter= – if quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:
Parameter value Result First page number
Dedication To His Grace William Duke of Devonshire; [] page iii
Epilogue Epilogue, Spoken by Mrs. Oldfield (by Colley Cibber) unnumbered page
Preface The Preface page v
Prologue Prologue. By a Gentleman. Spoken by Mr. Wilks. (Anonymous.) page vii
As the epilogue is unpaginated, use |1= or |page= to specify "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=5nRZAAAAcAAJ&pg=PT1, specify |page=11.
  • |1= 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. 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 or |pages=iii–iv.
    • 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 the 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 20, 33, 50, or 65 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. These are not clearly indicated in 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.
