Usage edit

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from Roger Ascham's work entitled The Scholemaster (1st edition, 1570). 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:

  • |chapter= – use this parameter to quote from the following parts of the work:
Parameter value Result
Preface To the Honorable Sir William Cecill Knight, Principall Secretarie to the Quenes Most Excellent Maiestie
Reader A Præface to the Reader
As the above chapters are unpaginated, use |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://archive.org/details/aschamscholemaster/page/n10/mode/1up, specify |page=10.
  • |1= or |folio=, and |verso=mandatory in some cases: the main part of the work is numbered by folios rather than page numbers. The folio number is indicated on the top right corner of each recto (right-hand) page. Use |folio= to indicate the folio number, and 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 quoting a range of folios, for example, "folios 10, verso – 11, recto", note the following:
    • Use |folio= and |verso= to specify the folio at the start of the range, and |folioend= and |versoend= (if required) to specify the folio at the end of the range.
    • In addition, use |folioref= and |versoref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears). (If quoting a recto page, omit |versoend= and |versoref=.)
These parameters must be specified to have the template determine whether the first or second book is 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.
