Usage

[edit]

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Philip Sidney's work An Apology for Poetry, also published under the title The Defence of Poesie (1st edition, 1595). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the works at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

1st edition (1595) entitled The Defence of Poesie
  • |version=mandatory: if quoting from the 1st edition entitled A Defence of Poesie, specify |version=Defence. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1868 republication of the 1st edition entitled An Apologie for Poetrie.
  • |1= or |page=mandatory in some cases: as the work is unpaginated, use this parameter to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=l1ZpAAAAcAAJ&pg=PP11, specify |page=11. This parameter must be specified to have the template 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 quoting a range of signatures, for example, "signature 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 displays the URL of the online version of the work as a superscript link after the title of the work.
1868 republication entitled An Apologie for Poetrie
  • |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from as shown in the following table:
Parameter value Result First page number
Introduction Introduction (by Edward Arber) page 7
Sonnets Foure Sonnets Written by Henrie Constable to Sir Phillip Sidneys Soule (by Henry Constable) page 17
To the Reader To the Reader (by Henry Olney) page 16
  • |1= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: 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).
This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.
Both editions
  • |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.
