Usage edit

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from the work |The First Part of the True and Honorable Historie, of the Life of Sir John Old-castle, the Good Lord Cobham (1st edition, 1600), which was once attributed to William Shakespeare but is now thought to be by Michael Drayton, Richard Hathwaye, Anthony Munday, and Robert Wilson. It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).

The second part of the work has not survived.

Parameters edit

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1= or |page= – mandatory in some cases: as the work is 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://books.google.com.sg/books?id=sDbPAAAAMAAJ&pg=PP9, specify |page=9. This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.
  • |sig= or |signature=, and |verso= – as the work is not divided into acts or scenes, |sig= or |signature= can be used to specify the signature number quoted from, which is indicated at the bottom centre of some pages. 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 a signature number is not indicated on a page, extrapolate it from the signature numbers before and after the page and enclose it in brackets using [ and ] For example, if the previous signature number is A3 and the next one is B, specify the missing signature number as |sig=[A4]: see the example below.
    • If quoting a range of signatures, for example, "signatures A3, verso – [A4], recto", use |sig= or |signature=, and |verso=, to specify the signature at the start of the range, and |sigend= or |signatureend=, and |versoend=, (if required) to specify the signature at the end of the range.
    • If this parameter is omitted, the template adds a link to the URL of the online version of the work after the title.
  • |3=, |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.
