Usage

[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Samuel Foote's work The Cozeners; a Comedy (1st edition, 1778). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |chapter= – if quoting from the prologue specify |chapter=Prologue, and if quoting from the advertisement specify |chapter=Advertisement. Specify the page number of the prologue as |page=iii and the first page number of the advertisement as |page=v
  • |1= or |page=; or |pages=mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. 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 or |v–vi=.
    • 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).
This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the act number (I–III) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
Act I
pages 1–28
Act II
pages 29–57
Act III
pages 58–94
  • |2=, |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.
