Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from four versions of Alexander Pope's poem The Dunciad: the original three-book version (1st edition, 1728), The Dunciad. With Notes Variorum, and the Prolegomena of Scriblerus (1729), the version in The Works of Dr. Alexander Pope (1735, volume II), and a fourth book called The New Dunciad (1st edition, 1742). It may be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |year=mandatory in some cases: to quote from the 1729, 1735, and 1742 versions, use |year=1729, |year=1735, and |year=1742 respectively. If this parameter is not specified, the template defaults to the 1728 version.
  • |book= – for the 1728, 1729, and 1735 versions, specify the book number quoted from in Arabic numerals, either |book=1, |book=2, or |book=3. If quoting from the 1742 version, "Book the Fourth" is automatically displayed. It is not necessary to use this parameter if the page number is specified.
  • |1= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory: the page or range of pages quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
    • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
    • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
This parameter must be specified for the template to determine the book (1st–3rd) quoted from for the 1728, 1729, and 1735 versions, and to link to an online version of the work.
  • |line= or |lines= – the line number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of lines, separate the first and last line number of the range with an en dash.
  • |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.
