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 a collection of John Evelyn's works compiled by William Upcott entitled The Miscellaneous Writings of John Evelyn (1st edition, 1825). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

Where a specific quotation template for a particular work exists, use it instead of this template.

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1=, |chapter=, or |title=mandatory: the "chapter" or title of the work quoted from. If quoting from one of the titles indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:
Miscellaneous Writings of John Evelyn
Parameter value Result First page number
A Character of England A Character of England, as It was Lately Presented in a Letter to a Nobleman of France. [] The Third Edition. (1659) page 141
Of Liberty and Servitude Of Liberty and Servitude. [] (by François de La Mothe Le Vayer, translated by Evelyn; 1649) page 1
Preface Preface (by William Upcott; 1825) page vii
  • |year= – the year of publication of a title.
  • |2= 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=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 the online version of the work.
  • |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.
