Usage

[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from Edward FitzGerald's English translation of Omar Khayyam's works entitled Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, the Astronomer-Poet of Persia (1st (facsimile) edition, 1859; and 4th edition, 1879). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |edition=mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 4th edition (1879), specify |edition=4th. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1859).
  • |1= or |quatrain=mandatory in some cases: if quoting from Khayyam's Rubaiyat, the quatrain number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. 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 or |pages=x–xi.
    • 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).
You must specify this information to have the template determine the part of the work quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.
  • |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the work.
  • |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.
