Usage

[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from York Plays: The Plays Performed by the Crafts or Mysteries of York on the Day of Corpus Christi in the 14th, 15th, and 16th Centuries (1st edition, 1885) edited by Lucy Toulmin Smith, the first publication of a manuscript of York Mystery Plays dating to 1430–1440. The template 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:

  • |1=, |chapter=, or |play= – mandatory: the title of the play quoted from.
  • |scene= – the scene quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals, if the play is divided into scenes.
  • |2= 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=110–111.
    • 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).
If this parameter is omitted, the template will not link to the online version of the work.
  • |line= or |lines= – the line number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of line numbers, separate the first and last numbers of the range with an en dash, like this: |lines=10–11.
  • |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the work.
  • |4=, |t=, or |translation= – a translation of the passage quoted into contemporary English.
  • |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.
  • |termlang= – by default, the template categorizes entries on which it is placed into Category:Middle English terms with quotations. To have the template categorize an entry into Category:English terms with quotations instead, use |termlang=en.
