Usage edit

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from a collection of Roger Ascham's works entitled The English Works of Roger Ascham (1st edition, 1761). 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:

  • |1= or |title=mandatory: the title of Ascham's work quoted from. Specifying the following parameter values will automatically indicate the full title of the works:
Value of parameter Result First page number
Germany A Report and Discourse [], of the Affaires and State of Germany and the Emperour Charles His Court, [] (1570?) page 1
Scholemaster The Schole Master; or, Plaine and Perfite Way of Teaching Children, to Vnderstand, Write, and Speake, the Latin Tonge, [] (written a. 1569; published 1570) page 187
Toxophilus Toxophilus, the Schole, or Partitions, of Shooting. Contayned in II Bookes. [] (written 1544; published 1571) page 51
  • |chapter= – if quoting from one of Ascham's letters rather than a book, use |title=none and specify the title of the letter using |chapter=.
  • |book= – if the work quoted from is divided into books, use this parameter to specify the book number quoted from in Arabic numerals, like this: |book=1.
  • |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).
This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.
  • |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the work.
  • |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.
