Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to format quotations from the poems of Theodore Roethke, as published and collated in The Collected Poems of Theodore Roethke, a collected edition of his English-language poetry published in 1975.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |poem= or |chapter= – mandatory: the poem quoted. Titles should be given as in the Collected Poems volume.

• |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 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 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.
