Usage
[edit]This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Thomas Shadwell's work The History of Timon of Athens, the Man-hater (1st edition, 1678), based on William Shakespeare's work Timon of Athens. 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=– use this parameter to quote from the following parts of the work other than the play, as indicated in the first column of the following table:
| Parameter value | Result |
|---|---|
| Epilogue | Epilogue |
| Epistle Dedicatory | To the Most Illustrious Prince George Duke of Buckingham, &c. |
| Prologue | Prologue to Timon |
- As these chapters unpaginated, use
|1=or|page=to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL ishttps://archive.org/details/historyoftimonof00shad_0/page/n10/mode/1up, specify|page=10.
|1=or|page=, or|pages=– mandatory: 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).
- Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this:
- 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, the template can determine the act number quoted from if the page number is specified. However, it is unable to do so if page 17, 35, 54, or 72 is specified, in which case this parameter must be used to specify the act number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, like this:|act=I.
| Act I pages 1–17 |
Act II pages 17–35 |
Act III pages 35–54 |
Act IV pages 54–72 |
Act V pages 72–86 |
|2=,|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.
