Usage[edit]

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Gabriel Harvey's work Pierces Supererogation (1st edition, 1593). As this edition is not currently available online, the template can be used to create a link to an online version of an 1870 edition of the work at Google Books.

Parameters[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from.
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page or range of pages quoted from. Note that page numbers 1–16 are used twice, first in what the introduction calls the "preliminary supplement", and secondly in the main text of the work. To refer to the pages of the preliminary supplement, add the letter A after the page number, like this: |page=1A. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
    • Separate the first and last page number 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.
  • |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.
