Template:RQ:Wotton Reliquiae/documentation

Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Henry Wotton's work Reliquiæ Wottonianæ. Or, A Collection of Lives, Letters, Poems (1st edition, 1651). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from. If quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

Reliquiæ Wottonianæ

Parameter value	Result	First page number
*Advertisement	An Advertisement to the Reader	unnumbered page
Advice	Advice to the Reader	unnumbered page
Buckingham and Essex	The Difference and Disparity between the Estates and Conditions of George Duke of Buckingham and Robert Earl of Essex (attributed to Wotton, but actually by Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon)	page 37
Essex and Buckingham	Of Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex; and George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham: Some Observations by Way of Parallel in the Time of Their Estates of Favour (written c. 1635)	page 1
*Epistle Dedicatory	To the Right Honourable, the Lady Mary Wotton Baronness, and to Her Three Noble Daughters, the Lady Katherin Stanhop. The Lady Margaret Tufton. The Lady Ann Hales. (By J. W.)	unnumbered page
*Life	The Life of Sir Henry Wotton (by Izaak Walton)	unnumbered page
Villiers	A View of the Life and Death of Geo[rge] Villiers, Duke of Buckingham	page 73

As the chapters marked with an asterisk (*) are unpaginated, use |2= 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/reliquiwottonian00wott/page/n8/mode/1up, specify |page=8. ("Advice to the Reader" is also unpaginated, but the template is able to determine the URL.)

• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: 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 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.
