Usage
[edit]This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Edward Young's work The Centaur not Fabulous (1st and 2nd editions, 1755). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books:
- 1st edition (1755).
- 2nd edition (1755; archived at the Internet Archive).
(The 1st edition is defective due to scanning errors—see below. Replace it with a better copy if one becomes available.)
Parameters
[edit]The template takes the following parameters:
|edition=– mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 2nd edition (1755), specify|edition=2nd. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1755).|chapter=– if quoting from letter V (or, in the 2nd edition, letters V and VI), in most cases if the page number is specified the template can determine the chapter indicated in the second column of the following table. If the template is unable to do so, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:
| Parameter value | Result | First page number | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st edition | 2nd edition | ||
| Life | Life‘s Review | page 225 | page 225 |
| Sin | The General Cause of Security in Sin | page 256 | page 255 |
| Age | Thoughts for Age | page 267 | page 266 |
| Dignity | The Dignity of Man | page 285 | page 289 |
| Centaur | The Centaurs Restoration to Humanity | page 296 | page 300 |
| Conclusion | The Conclusion | page 318 | page 323 |
|1=or|page=; or|pages=– mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. 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=10–11or|pages=x–xi. - 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).
- Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this:
- This parameter must be specified for the template to determine the chapter quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.
In the 1st edition, pages 120, 121, 258, and 259 have obscured text due to scanning errors.
|2=,|text=, or|passage=– the passage to be quoted.|footer=– a comment on the passage quoted.|brackets=– use|brackets=onto 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.
