- As the epistle dedicatory and "Fowre Thinges" are unpaginated, the template takes the following parameters:
|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 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 .i. and the next one is .iii., specify the missing signature number as|sig=[.ii.]
. - If quoting a range of signatures, for example, "signatures .i., verso – .ii., 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 links the URL of the online version to the title of the work quoted from.
- 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
|2=
or|page=
– the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL ishttps://books.google.com/books?id=BNRaAAAAcAAJ&pg=PP9
, specify|page=9
.
- If quoting from "Fowre Thinges", use
|subchapter=
to specify the name of the subchapter quoted from. - For help with adding other titles to the template, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".
- As the epistle dedicatory and "Fowre Thinges" are unpaginated, the template takes the following parameters:
|book=
and/or|section=
– if a title is divided into books and chapters, use|book=
and|chapter=
to specify the book number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals. If quoting from some other type of section, use|section=
to specify the name of the type of section and the section number.|chapter=
– if a title is divided into chapters, use this parameter to specify the chapter number in uppercase Roman numerals, the name of the chapter, or both (like this:|chapter=I. Name of Chapter
).|2=
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).
- 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 link to the online version of the work.
- Between pages 88 and 103, the leaves are given column rather than page numbers. Use
|column=
or|columns=
as described below to specify the column numbers.- There is an extra unnumbered page after page 1138. To quote this page, specify
|page=1138A
.
|column=
or|columns=
– mandatory in some cases: the column number(s) quoted from, either|column=1
or|column=2
.- If quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or separate the column numbers with an en dash, like this:
|columns=1–2
. - If quoting from columns 89–102 (see the note above), this parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work. If quoting a range of columns, you must also use
|columnref=
to indicate the column to be linked to.
- If quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or separate the column numbers with an en dash, like this:
|3=
,|text=
, or|passage=
– the passage to be quoted.|footer=
– a comment about the passage quoted.|4=
,|t=
, or|translation=
– a translation of the passage 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:English terms with quotations. To have the template categorize an entry into Category:Translingual terms with quotations instead, specify|termlang=mul
.
