Documentation for Template:RQ:Geneva Bible. [edit]
This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

Usage

[edit]

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from the Geneva Bible (1st complete edition, 1560). 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:

  • |1= or |book=mandatory: the name of the book of the Bible quoted – see the table below for the full list.
  • |2= or |chapter= – the chapter of the book quoted in uppercase Roman numerals, following the work.
  • |3=, |verse=, or |verses= – the verse(s) of the chapter quoted in Arabic numerals, following the work. If quoting a range of verses, separate the verse numbers with an en dash, like this: |verses=10–11.
  • |4= or |folio=, and |verso=mandatory in some cases: as the work has folios rather than pages, use |4= or |folio= to specify the folio number (which is indicated on the recto, or right-hand, page), and if you are quoting the verso (left-hand page) of the folio add |verso=1 or |verso=yes. If quoting a range of folios, for example, "folios 110, verso – 111, recto", note the following:
    • Use |folio= and |verso= to specify the folio at the start of the range, and |folioend= and |versoend= (if required) to specify the folio at the end of the range.
    • In addition, use |folioref= and |versoref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears). (If quoting a recto page, omit |versoend= and |versoref=.)
These parameters must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.
  • |column= or |columns= – the column number(s) quoted from, either |column=1 or |column=2. If quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or separate the column numbers with an en dash, like this: |columns=1–2.
  • |5=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted. For accuracy, please quote the 1560 version of the text, not an older or newer version.
  • |6=, |t=, or |translation= – a translation of the passage quoted into contemporary English.
  • |footer= – a comment about 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.
