Template:RQ:Fuller Mixt Contemplations/documentation

Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Thomas Fuller’s work Mixt Contemplations in Better Times (1st edition, 1660). The template can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |sig= or |signature=, and |verso= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the dedication or the preface, the signature number quoted from, from |sig=a2 to |sig=a4; as only a2 is indicated in the work, the template encloses others within square brackets. 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. When quoting a range of signatures, note the following:
  • Use |sig= or |signature=, and |verso=, to specify the signature at the start of the range, and |sigend= or |signatureend=, and |versoend=, (if required) to specify the signature at the end of the range.
  • You must also use |sigref= or |signatureref= to specify the signature number that the template should link to (usually the signature on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.

• |1= or |part= – mandatory in some cases: after chapter L, pagination and chapter numbers restart and the work is followed by another fifty chapters; if quoting from the main parts of the work, specify |part=1 or |part=2.
• |2= or |chapter= – if quoting from the main parts of the work, the chapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals. The template indicates the chapter name.

In the second part, chapter XLIII incorrectly occurs twice; specify the correct number of this (XLIV) and the following chapters (XLV–XLVIII, indicated as XLIV–XLVII). The last two chapters, XLIX and L, are correctly numbered.

• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the main parts of the work, 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 chapter of the work quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.

In the second part, pages 74 and 75 are incorrectly numbered as 62 and 63; specify the correct number, which the template encloses within square brackets.

• |4=, |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.
