Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Martin Farquhar Tupper's work Proverbial Philosophy (1st edition; 1st series, 1838; 2nd series, 1842). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books:

• 1st series (1838; archived at the Internet Archive).
• 2nd Series (1842; archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |series= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 2nd series (1842), specify |series=2nd.
• |1=, |chapter=, or |poem= – the name of the poem quoted from.
• |stanza= – if a poem is divided into stanzas, the stanza number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: 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 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.
