Usage

[edit]

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Thomas Overbury's work A Wife (4th edition, 1614; and 14th edition, 1630); the 1st edition published in the same year as the 4th edition (London: […] [Edward Griffin] for Lawrence Lisle, […], 1614; →OCLC) is not currently available online. The template can be used to create a link to online versions of the works at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |edition= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 14th edition (1630), specify |edition=14th. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 4th edition (1614).
  • |author= – the name or initials of an author of part of the work other than Overbury.
  • |1= or |chapter= – if the "page number" is specified as indicated below, the template determines the part of the work quoted from. If a part is subdivided into chapters, or if the template does not automatically determine the name of a chapter, use |1= or |chapter= to specify the name of the chapter quoted from.
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: as the works are unpaginated, use this parameter to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books or the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example:
    • If the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=tXFnAAAAcAAJ&pg=PP9, specify |page=9.
    • If the URL is https://archive.org/details/overburyhiswife/page/n6/mode/1up, specify |page=6.
This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the part of the work quoted from, and to link to an 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.
