Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Thomas d'Urfey's work Songs Compleat, Pleasant and Divertive (the 2nd printing was issued under the title Wit and Mirth: Or Pills to Purge Melancholy; 1719–1720 (19th-century republication), 6 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

Volume I (contents). Volume II (contents). Volume III (contents).

Volume IV (contents). Volume V (contents). Volume VI (contents).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number of the work quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |part=VI.
• |author= – if a chapter is written by an author other than d'Urfey, use this parameter to specify the name of the author.
• |2= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from.
• |3= 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.

• |4=, |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.
