Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from the two earliest known versions of William Shakespeare's work Romeo and Juliet. It can be used to create a link to online versions of the works at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |version= – mandatory in some cases: use |version=Q2 to quote from the Second Quarto. For the First Quarto, either use |version=Q1 or omit the parameter.
  • |chapter= – if quoting from the prologue, specify |chapter=Prologue.
  • |1= or |act= – mandatory: the act number of the play quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
  • |2= or |scene= – mandatory: the scene number of the play quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals. As the works do not have act and scene numbers, look up the act and scene numbers from a modern edition of the play.
  • |page= – mandatory in some cases: as the works are unpaginated, use |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive or Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL of the webpage to be linked to is https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_OCHPAAAAMAAJ/page/n7/mode/1up specify |page=7, and if it is https://books.google.com/books?id=OCHPAAAAMAAJ&pg=PP11 specify |page=11. This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.
  • |sig= or |signature=, and |verso= – |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 a signature number is not indicated on a page, extrapolate it from the signature numbers before and after the page and enclose it in brackets using [ and ] For example, if the previous signature number is A3 and the next one is B, specify the missing signature number as |sig=[A4]: see the example below.
    • If quoting a range of signatures, for example, "signatures A2, verso – B, recto", 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 links the URL of the online version of the work to the prologue, or the act and scene numbers.
  • |3=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
  • |4=, |t=, or |translation= – a translation of the passage quoted into contemporary English.
  • |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.
