Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |edition= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the new edition (1766), specify |edition=new. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1760).
  • |stanza= – the stanza number quoted from.
  • |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. 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 or |pages=vii–viii.
    • 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).
You must specify this information to have the template determine the name of the chapter or poem quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.
  • |poem= – mandatory in some cases: in the 1st edition, in most cases if the page number is specified the template can determine the name of the poem quoted from. However, it is unable to do so if page 76 or 84 is specified, in which case to quote the poem indicated in the second column of the following table, give this parameter the value indicated in the first column:
Parameter value Result Page
Shakespear Song in Imitation of Shakespear’s page 76
Anacreon Anacreon, Ode 22
Horace 2 Horace, Book II. Ode 10. Translated page 84
Horace 3 Horace, Book III. Ode 13. Translated
  • |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.
