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 James Shirley's work The Gamester (1st edition, 1637). 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:

  • |1= or |page= – mandatory: as the work is unpaginated, use this parameter to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive ("IA") to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/gamesterasitwasp00shir/page/n6/mode/1up, specify |page=6. This parameter must be specified to have the template determine 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, if the page number is specified the template will determine the act number quoted from. However, it is unable to do so if page 34, 50, or 65 is specified, in which case this parameter must be used to specify the act number in uppercase Roman numerals, like this: |act=II.
Act I
IA pages 6–18 		Act II
IA pages 19–34 		Act III
IA pages 34–50 		Act IV
IA pages 50–65 		Act V
IA pages 65–79
  • |sig= or |signature=, and |verso= – |sig= or |signature= can be used to specify the signature number quoted from, which is indicated at the bottom centre of some pages. If quoting from a verso (left-hand) page specify |verso=1 or |verso=yes; if |verso= is omitted, the template indicates that a recto (right-hand) page is quoted.
    • If quoting a range of signatures, for example, "signatures A2, verso – A3, recto", use |sig= or |signature=, and |verso=, to specify the signature at the start of the range, and |sigend= or |signatureend=, and |versoend=, (if required) to specify the signature at the end of the range.
    • If this parameter is omitted, the template links the URL of the online version of the work to the chapter name (the prologue or epilogue) if specified, or to the act number.
  • |2=, |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.

No, but I may looſe it ere I goe to bed. / Doſt think't ſhall '''muſtie''', vvhat's a hundred pound?}} (the template can automatically determine the act number from the page number specified); or
    • {{RQ:Shirley Gamester|page=26|passage=''Wi''[''lding'']. But harke thee, harke thee ''VVill'', did'ſt vvinne it? / ''Ha''[''zard'']. No, but I may looſe it ere I goe to bed. / Doſt think't ſhall '''muſtie''', vvhat's a hundred pound?}}
