Usage

[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote The Workes of Geffray Chaucer (1542), a collected edition of Geoffrey Chaucer's works edited by William Thynne, the first edition of which was published in 1532. It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1= or |title=, and |subtitle= – the title (and, if applicable, subtitle) of the work by Chaucer quoted from. At present, specifying the following titles and subtitles will automatically create a link to relevant English Wikipedia articles about the works:

  • |book= – if a work is divided into books, use this parameter to specify the book number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
  • |2= or |folio=, and |verso=mandatory in some cases: the work is numbered by folios rather than page numbers. The folio number is indicated on the top right corner of each recto (right-hand) page. Use |2= or |folio= to indicate the folio number in lowercase Roman numerals, and if quoting from a verso (left-hand) page specify |verso=1 or |verso=yes; if |verso= is omitted, the template indicates that a recto (right-hand) page is quoted. If quoting a range of folios, for example, "folios x, verso – xi, recto", note the following:
    • Use |folio= and |verso= to specify the folio at the start of the range, and |folioend= and |versoend= (if required) to specify the folio at the end of the range.
    • In addition, use |folioref= and |versoref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears). (If quoting a recto page, omit |versoend= and |versoref=.)
These parameters must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.
  • |column= or |columns= – the column number(s) quoted from, either |column=1 or |column=2. If quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or separate the numbers with an en dash, like this: |columns=1–2.
  • |line= or |lines= – the line number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of lines, separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |lines=110–111. The work does not indicate line numbers, so if it is desired to include these, look them up from a later edition of the work.
  • |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted from the work.
  • |4=, |t=, or |translation= – a translation of the passage into contemporary English.
  • |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.
  • |termlang= – by default, the template categorizes entries on which it is placed into Category:Middle English terms with quotations. To have the template categorize an entry into Category:English terms with quotations instead, use |termlang=en.
