Template:RQ:Tyndale Expositions/documentation

Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from a collection of William Tyndale's works entitled Expositions and Notes on Sundry Portions of the Holy Scriptures, together with The Practice of Prelates (1st edition, 1849) edited by Henry Walter. It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work (contents) at the Internet Archive.

Where a specific quotation template for a work exists, use it instead of this template.

Chapter	First page number
An Exposition uppon the V. VI. VII. Chapters of Mathew, […] (1532; reprinted 1573)	page 1
The Exposition of the First Epistle of Saint John, […] (September 1531)	page 133
Notes or Glosses on Saint Matthew’s Gospel (1525)	page 226
The Practyse of Prelates (1530–1548)	page 237

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |chapter= –
  • In the expositions of Matthew and 1 John, in most cases if the page number is specified, the template can determine the name of the chapter quoted from. However, it is unable to do so, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column of the following table:

Parameter value	Result
Matthew 6	Sixth Chapter
Matthew 7	Seventh Chapter
1 John 2	Chapter. II
1 John 3	The Third Chapter
1 John 4	The Fourth Chapter
1 John 5	The Fifth Chapter

• In "Notes or Glosses on Saint Matthew's Gospel", specify the chapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.

• |chaptername= – if quoting from "The Practyse of Prelates", the name of the chapter.
• |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).

This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the name of the title or part of the work quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

• |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.
