Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from two versions of a compilation of Matthew Prior's poetry entitled The Poetical Works of Matthew Prior (1st edition, 1779, 2 volumes; 1858 edition). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

• 1st edition (1779):
  • Volume I (contents; archived at the Internet Archive).
  • Volume II (contents; archived at the Internet Archive).
• 1858 edition (contents).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

1st edition (1779)

• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=I or |volume=II.

1858 edition

• |year= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1858 edition, specify |year=1858. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1779).
• |line= or |lines= – the line number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of line numbers, separate the first and last numbers of the range with an en dash, like this: |lines=10–11.

Both editions

• |2=, |chapter=, |poem=, or |title= – the title of the poem quoted from. If the parameter is given the value specified in the first column of the following table, the template links to an English Wikipedia article about the poem as shown in the second column:

For help with adding other Wikipedia articles to the template, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".

• |stanza= – if the poem is divided into stanzas, the stanza number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |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 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 link to an online version of the work.

• |4=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted from the work.
• |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.
