Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Philip Massinger's work The Bashful Lover (1st edition, 1655) as it appears in The Plays of Philip Massinger (1st edition, 1805, volume IV) edited by William Gifford; the 1st edition (Three New Playes; London: […] H[umphrey] Moseley, 1655; →OCLC) is not currently available online. 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:

• |1= or |act=, and |2= or |scene= – mandatory:
  • Specify the act and scene numbers quoted from in uppercase and lowercase Roman numerals respectively, like this: |act=I, |scene=i.
  • If quoting from the prologue or epilogue, specify |act=prologue or |act=epilogue respectively.
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: 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=351–352.
  • 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 link to the online version of the work.

• |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.
