Usage edit

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Samuel Johnson’s work Irene (1st edition, 1749). The template can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books.

Parameters edit

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |chapter= – if quoting from “Prologue”, “Epilogue”, or “The Persons”: specify it using this parameter. For “Epilogue” and “The Persons”, the template links to the online version of the work.
  • |recto=, |rectoref=, |verso=, |versoref= – if quoting from “Prologue” (signature [A3]): specify |recto=1 if quoting from the first (recto) page, |verso=1 if from the second (verso) page, and either |rectoref=1 or |vectoref=1 if from both pages, depending on which one the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
  • |1= or |scene=mandatory in some cases: the scene number in lowercase Roman numerals. If the page number is specified and the page contains only one scene, this parameter can be omitted, as the template can determine the scene number.
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory: 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 determine the act quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
  • |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.
