Usage[edit]

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from the work Examen Poeticum: Being the Third Part of Miscellany Poems (1st edition, 1693) which contains contributions from John Dryden, Nahum Tate, and other authors. It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work (contents) at the Internet Archive.

Parameters[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |author= – the template will determine the name of the author to display based on the title of the chapter specified. To have the template display nothing (for example, if the author is unknown), specify |author=none.
  • |1=, |chapter=, or |title=mandatory: the title 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:
Examen Poeticum
Parameter value Result First page number

If quoting from the dedication or "The Bookseller to the Reader", as these chapters 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/b30336971/page/n12/mode/1up, specify |page=12.
For help with adding other chapters to the template, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".
  • |subchapter= or |subtitle= – the name of a subchapter or subtitle quoted from.
  • |stanza= – the stanza number quoted from.
  • |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 numbers 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.
  • Page 315 is misprinted as 215; specify this as |page=315.
  • The page numbering of the chapter "Syphilis" restarts from 1.
  • |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.
