Template:RQ:Donne Devotions

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Usage

[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote John Donne's work Devotions upon Emergent Occasions (1st edition, 1624; and 1923 version). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |year=mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1923 version, specify |year=1923.
    • This parameter should be omitted if quoting from the introduction by the editor John Sparrow; or the biographical note, or notes at the end of the work, by Geoffrey Keynes in the 1923 version.
    • Otherwise, if this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1624).
  • |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from. 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
Epistle Dedicatorie To the Most Excellent Prince, Prince Charles
Stationes Stationes, sive Periodi in Morbo, ad quas referuntur Meditationes sequentes [The Stations, or Periods in the Disease, to which the Following Meditations Refer]
As the above chapters 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/bim_early-english-books-1475-1640_deuotions-vpon-emergent-_donne-john_1624/page/n4/mode/1up, specify |page=4. (In the 1923 version, "Stationes" is unpaginated but the template can determine the URL.)
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals (in the 1923 version), 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=x–xi.
    • 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 link to an online version of the work.
  • |line= or |lines= – the line number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of numbers, separate the first and last numbers of the range with an en dash, like this: |lines=10–11.
  • |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.
