This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

Usage

[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Thomas Lodge's work Scillaes Metamorphosis: Enterlaced with the Unfortunate Loue of Glaucus (1st edition, 1589). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1= or |page= – mandatory: as the work is unpaginated, use this parameter to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books ("GB") to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=1HsVAAAAYAAJ&pg=PP15, specify |page=15. You must specify this information to have the template determine the name of the chapter quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
  • |sig= or |signature=, and |verso= – |sig= or |signature= can be used to specify the signature number quoted from, which is indicated at the bottom centre of some pages. 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.
    • If a signature number is not indicated on a page, extrapolate it from the signature numbers before and after the page and enclose it in brackets using [ and ] For example, if the previous signature number is A3 and the next one is B, specify the missing signature number as |sig=[A4].
    • If quoting a range of signatures, for example, "signatures A2, verso – A3, recto", 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.
    • If this parameter is omitted, the template links the URL of the online version of the work to the chapter name.
  • |sonnet= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from one of the sonnets, the name of the sonnet if it has one, or the sonnet number in Arabic numerals. If page 42 is specified and the sonnet is being quoted, specify |sonnet=In Praise of the Countrey Life, otherwise the template defaults to "The Discontented Satyre".
  • |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.
