Usage

edit

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from John Ford's work The Fancies, Chast and Noble (1st edition, 1638). 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= – if quoting from the following chapters of the work indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:
Parameter value Result
Epilogue Epilogue
Epistle Dedicatorie To the Right Noble Lord, the Lord Randell Mackdonnell, Earle of Antrim in the Kingdome of Ireland, Lord Viscount Dunluce
Greenfield To Master Iohn Ford, of the Middle Temple, on His Bower of Fancies (by Edward Greenfield)
Prologue The Scene, Siena. Prologue.
As the epistle dedicatory 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/fancieschastnobl00ford/page/n6/mode/1up, specify |page=6. (The dedication by Greenfield and prologue are also unpaginated, but the template is able to determine the URL.)
  • |1= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
    • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
    • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked 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.

Page 77 is misprinted as 67; specify this page as |page=77.

  • |act=mandatory in some cases: in most cases, if the page number is specified, the template can determine the act number of the play. However, the template is unable to do this if page 15, 48, or 62 is quoted from, in which case this parameter must be used to specify the act number in uppercase Roman numerals, like this: |act=I.
Act I
pages 1–15
Act II
pages 15–30
Act III
pages 31–48
Act IV
pages 48–62
Act V
pages 62–77
  • |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.
