Usage

[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Samuel Foote's work Taste. A Comedy (1st edition, 1752). 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 chapter indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:
Parameter value Result
Dedication To Francis Delaval, Esq
Preface The Preface
Prologue Prologue. Written by Mr. Garrick, and Spoken by Him in the Character of an Auctioneer. (By David Garrick.)
As these chapters are unpaginated, use |1= 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_eighteenth-century_taste-a-comedy-of-two-_foote-samuel_1752/page/n4/mode/1up, specify |page=4.
  • |1= or |page=; or |pages=mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
    • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
    • You must also use |pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
This parameter must be specified for the template to determine the act number (I or II) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

The page after page 33 is misprinted as 28; specify it as |page=34.

  • |act=mandatory in some cases: in most cases, if the page number is specified, the template will determine the act number quoted from. However, it is unable to do so if page 18 is specified, in which case either |act=I or |act=II must be specified.
Act I
pages 1–18
Act II
pages 18–34
  • |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.

Examples
