Usage[edit]
This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Thomas Middleton's works More Dissemblers besides Women and Women Beware Women, which were published together as Two New Playes (1st edition, 1657). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.
Parameters[edit]
The template takes the following parameters:
|chapter=– 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:
| Parameter value | Result |
|---|---|
| Richards | Upon the Tragedy of My Familiar Acquaintance, Tho. Middleton (by Nathanael Richards |
| To the Reader | To the Reader (by Humphrey Moseley) |
- As "To the Reader" is 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 ishttps://archive.org/details/twonewplayesvizm00midd/page/n18/mode/1up, specify|page=18. (The commendatory poem by Richards is also unpaginated, but the template can determine the URL to link to.)
|1=or|scene=– mandatory: the scene number quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals.|2=or|page=; or|pages=– mandatory: 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).
- Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this:
- This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the play and the act number (I–V) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
|act=– mandatory in some cases: in most cases, the template will determine the act number quoted from if the page number is specified as indicated above. It is unable to do so if page 20, 30, 46, 65, 106, 134, 165, or 187 is quoted from, in which case this parameter must be used to specify the act number in uppercase Roman numerals, for example,|act=I.
| More Dissemblers besides Women | ||||
| Act I pages 5–20 |
Act II pages 20–30 |
Act III pages 30–46 |
Act IV pages 46–65 |
Act V pages 65–83 |
| Women Beware Women | ||||
| Act I pages 87–106 |
Act II pages 106–134 |

|3=,|text=, or|passage=– the passage to be quoted.|footer=– a comment on the passage quoted.|brackets=– use|brackets=onto 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.
