Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from William Wycherley's work The Country Wife (1st edition, 1675). As this edition is not currently available online, the template can be used to create a link to an online version of a 1688 edition of the work at the Internet Archive.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |act= – mandatory: the act number of the play quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |2= or |scene= – mandatory: the scene number of the play quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals.
• |part= – if quoting from the unpaginated prologue or epilogue, specify |part=prologue or |part=epilogue.
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) of the work. 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 link to the online version of the work.

• |4=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be 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.
