Usage

[edit]

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from William Congreve's work Love for Love (1st edition, 1695). 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:

  • |chapter= – if quoting from a part of the work other than the play, use this parameter to specify the name of the part, as shown in the first column of the following table:
Parameter value Result
Dedication To the Right Honourable Ralph Charles Earl of Dorset and Middlesex, […]
Prologue A Prologue for the Opening of the New Play-house, Propos’d to be Spoken by Mrs. [Anne] Bracegirdle in Man’s Cloaths. […]
Prologue 2 Prologue. Spoken at the Opening of the New House, by Mr. [Thomas] Betterton.
Epilogue Epilogue Spoken at the Opening of the New House, by Mrs. [Anne] Bracegirdle
As the chapters above are unpaginated, use |2= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/loveforlovecomed00cong/page/n10/mode/1up, specify |page=10. This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.
  • |1= or |scene= – mandatory: the scene number of the play quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals. As the scene numbers are not clearly indicated in the work, look them up in a version of the work at the English Wikisource.
  • |2= 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 the online version of the book.
  • |act= – mandatory in some cases: in most cases if the page number is specified, the template will determine the the act number quoted from. However, the template is unable to do so if page 17 is specified, in which case the act number must be manually specified in uppercase Roman numerals, like this: |act=I.
Act I
pages 1–18 		Act II
pages 17–33 		Act III
pages 34–54 		Act IV
page 55–75 		Act V
pages 76–92
  • |3=, |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.
