Documentation for Template:RQ:d'Urfey Old Mode. [edit]
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 Thomas d'Urfey's work The Old Mode & the New, or, Country Miss with Her Furbeloe. A Comedy. (1st edition, 1703). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |chapter= – if quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:
Parameter value Result
Dedication To the Illustrious Prince Charles, Duke of Richmond and Lenox, []
Dramatis Personae Dramatis Personæ
Epilogue Epilogue. By Miss Gatty.
Prologue Prologue. Spoken by Mr. Pinkeman.
As the above chapters are unpaginated, use |1= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=1rZgxt-HqAgC&pg=PP3, specify |page=3. (The epilogue is also unpaginated but the template is able to determine the URL.)
  • |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 act (I–IV) and scene number quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
  • |act=mandatory in some cases: in most cases if the page is specified, the template will determine the act number quoted from. However it is unable to do so if page 18, 38, or 48 is specified, in which the act number must be specified in uppercase Roman numerals using this parameter, like this: |act=I.
Act I
pages 1–18
Act II
pages 18–38
Act III
pages 38–48
Act IV
pages 48–68
  • |scene=mandatory in some cases: in most cases if the page is specified, the template will determine the scene number quoted from. It is unable to do so if page 34, 38, 42, 48, 55, or 59 is specified, in which the scene number must be specified in lowercase Roman numerals using this parameter, like this: |scene=i.
  • |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.
