Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |year= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1699 version, specify |year=1699. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1697).
  • |section= – in the 1699 version, the Dissertation upon the Epistles of Phalaris is divided into sections. Use this parameter to specify the section number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
  • |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or (in the 1699 version) 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=x–xi.
    • 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 to have template determine the chapter quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.

In the 1699 version, page 545 is misnumbered 549; specify it as |page=545.

  • |chapter= – in most cases, if the page number is specified the template can determine the name of the chapter quoted from. However, in the 1st edition it is unable to do so if page 114 or 134 is specified, in which case this parameter must be used to specify the name of the chapter as indicated in the first column of the following table:
Parameter value Result
Socrates Of Socrates’s Epistles
Euripides Of Euripides’s Epistles
Aesop Of Æsop’s Fables
  • |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.
