Usage edit

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher's work Philaster (4th edition, 1634); the 1st edition (London: [] Thomas Walkley, [], 1620; →OCLC) is not currently available online. The template 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= – if quoting from "The Stationer to the Understanding Gentrie", specify |chapter=The Stationer to the Understanding Gentrie. As this part of the work is unpaginated, use |1= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/philasterorlovel00beau_1/page/n12/mode/1up, specify |page=12.
  • |1= 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 determine the act number (I–V) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

The following pages are incorrectly numbered. Specify the correct page numbers as shown in the first column of the following table:

Correct page number Incorrect page number
[75] 67 (second one)
[77] 78
[79] 70 (second one)
  • |act=mandatory in some cases: in most cases the template will determine the act number quoted from if the page number is specified, as shown below. However, if page 17, 30, 45, or 60 is quoted from, the act number must be manually specified in uppercase Roman numerals, like this: |act=I.
Act I
pages 1–17
Act II
pages 17–30
Act III
pages 30–45
Act IV
pages 45–60
Act V
pages 60–[79]
  • |2=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
  • |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.
