Usage edit

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Philemon Holland's English translation of William Camden's work Britannia entitled Britain, or A Chorographicall Description of the Most Flourishing Kingdomes, England, Scotland, and Ireland (1st edition, 1610). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the HathiTrust Digital Library (archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters edit

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |part=mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the parts of the work relating to Ireland or Scotland, specify |part=2. This parameter must be specified as the pagination in this part of the work restarts from 1.
  • |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from. If quoting from "The Author to the Reader", specify |chapter=The Author to the Reader. As this chapter is unpaginated, use |2= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by the HathiTrust Digital Library to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=osu.32435017950031&view=1up&seq=9 specify |page=9.
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. 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=10–11.
    • 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).
You must specify this information to have the template link to the online version of the work.

In part 1 of the work (England), note the following pagination errors:

  • Pages 89–96 are missing. If a better copy of the work is available, please update the template.
  • Page numbers 207 and 208 are repeated. Specify the second page numbers as |page=207A and |page=208A.
  • Page 299 is misnumbered as 287. Specify this page as |page=299.
  • Page numbers 300 and 301 are missing, but the text is not affected.
  • |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the work.
  • |footer= – a comment about 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.
