This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

Usage

[edit]

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from John Woodward's work An Attempt towards a Natural History of the Fossils of England (1st edition, 1728–1729, 2 volumes). 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:

  • |1=, |tome=, or |volume=mandatory: the tome number quoted from, either |tome=I or |tome=II.
  • |2= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from.
  • |part=mandatory in some cases: the part of the work quoted from, as follows:
Parameter value Result
Tome I
I part I (Of the Fossils that are Real and Natural: [])
II part II (A Catalogue of the English Fossils in the Collection of J. Woodward [])
Tome II
foreign1 A Catalogue of the Foreign Fossils in the Collection of J. Woodward M.D. [] Part I []
foreign2 A Catalogue of the Foreign Fossils in the Collection of J. Woodward M.D. [] Part II []
addition1 An Addition to the Catalogue of the Foreign Native Fossils, in the Collection of J. Woodward M.D.
addition2
This parameter must be specified for the template to correctly link to the online version of the work, as the pagination restarts in each part.
  • |3= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page or range of pages quoted from, either in Arabic numerals or lowercase Roman numerals as indicated in the work. 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=110–111 or |pages=x–xi.
    • 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.
  • |4=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be 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.
