Usage
[edit]This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Philip Massinger's work The Unnaturall Combat (1st edition, 1639). 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 the epistle dedicatory, specify|chapter=Epistle Dedicatory.|1=or|scene=– mandatory: the scene number of the play quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals. This parameter may be omitted if quoting from act I, as it consists of only one scene; the template will indicate "scene i" automatically.|2=or|page=– mandatory in some cases: as the work is unpaginated, use this parameter to specify the "page number" which the Internet Archive ("IA") has assigned to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL ishttps://archive.org/details/unnaturallcombat00mass/page/n8/mode/1up, specify|page=8. This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the act number (I–V) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.|act=– mandatory in some cases: in most cases, if the IA page number quoted from is specified, the template can determine the act number of the play. However, the template is unable to do this if IA page 24 or 57 is quoted from. In these cases, use this parameter to specify the act number of the play in uppercase Roman numerals, like this:|act=I.
| Act I IA pages 10–24 |
Act II IA pages 24–38 |
Act III IA pages 39–57 |
Act IV IA pages 57–70 |
Act V IA pages 71–85 |
|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=1or|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]; see the example below. - If quoting a range of signatures, for example, "signatures B, verso – B2, 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 either links the URL of the online version of the work to the chapter name if one is specified, or to the act and scene numbers.
- 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
|3=,|text=, or|passage=– the passage to be quoted.|footer=– a comment on the passage quoted.|brackets=– use|brackets=onto 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.
