Usage

[edit]

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Thomas Otway's work Venice Preserv'd (1st edition, 1682). 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
Epilogue Epilogue
Epistle Dedicatory Epistle Dedicatory to Her Grace the Dutchess of Portsmouth
Prologue Prologue
As the epistle dedicatory and epilogue are unpaginated, use |1= 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 is https://archive.org/details/venicepreservdor00otwa/page/n4/mode/1up, specify |page=4. (The prologue is also unpaginated, but the template is able to determine the URL.)
  • |1= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory: the page number(s) of the work quoted from. If using |pages= to quote 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).
This parameter must be specified for the template to determine the act number (I–V) and scene number quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
  • |act= – in most cases, if the page number is specified the template can determine the act number quoted from. It is unable to do so if page 41 or 57 is specified, in which case this parameter must be used to specify the act number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, like this: |act=III.
Act I
pages 1–11
Act II
pages 12–24
Act III
pages 25–41
Act IV
pages 41–57
Act V
pages 57–72
  • |scene= – some of the acts are divided into scenes, and only some of these scenes are numbered. In most cases, if the page number is specified the template can determine the scene number quoted from. If it is unable to do so, this parameter must be used to specify the scene number quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals, like this: |scene=i.
  • |2=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
  • |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
  • |3=, |t=, or |translation= – a translation of the passage into contemporary English.
  • |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.
