Usage

Parameters
The template takes the following parameters:
|1=or|scene=– mandatory: the scene number of the play quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals.
Act V, scene i is incorrectly indicated as scene 8; specify it as
|scene=i.
|2=or|page=– mandatory: as the work is not paginated, use this parameter to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive ("IA") to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL ishttps://archive.org/details/motherbombieasit00lyly/page/n10/mode/1up, specify|page=10. This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the act number (I–V) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.|act=– in most cases, if the page number is specified the template can determine the act number quoted from. However, it is unable to do so if page 22, 36, or 47 is specified, in which case this parameter must be used to specify the act number in uppercase Roman numerals, like this:|act=I.
| Act I IA pages 10–22 |
Act II IA pages 22–36 |
