Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Thomas Heywood's work How a Man may Chuse a Good Wife from a Bad (1st edition, 1602) – this attribution is from the Oxford English Dictionary; the facsimile attributes the work to "Joshua Cooke" (perhaps John Cooke?). The template can be used to create a link to an online version of a 1912 facsimile of the work at Google Books.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |sig= or |signature=, and |verso= – as the work is unpaginated and not divided into acts and scenes, |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, "signature A2, recto – A3, verso", 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 displays the URL of the online version of the work as a superscript link after the title of the work.
  • |1= or |page=mandatory in some cases: use this parameter to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=NYk_AQAAMAAJ&pg=PP7, specify |page=7. This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.
  • |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.
