Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from John Smith's work The Generall Historie of Virginia, New-England, and the Summer Isles (1st edition, 1624). It can be used to create a link to the following online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |edition= – mandatory in some cases: use |edition=1632 if quoting from the 1632 edition of the work. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1966 facsimile of the 1st edition (1624).
  • |author= or |authors= – if the author(s) of the chapter quoted from are stated at the end of the chapter, these parameters may be used to specify the name(s) of the author(s). If there is more than one author, separate the authors' names with semicolons.
  • |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from.
  • |date=, or (|month= and) |year= – if quoting from a part of the work which has a separate date, use |date= to specify it in the format 1 January 1600 or January 1, 1600. The date will be converted from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. If only the month and year, or year alone, of the sermon is known, use |month= and/or |year= to specify this information.
  • |url= – if quoting from an unnumbered page, use this parameter to specify the URL of the webpage to be linked to, like this: |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OpfWAAAAMAAJ&pg=PP15
  • |2= or |book= – mandatory: the work is subdivided into six books. Use this parameter to specify the book quoted from in Arabic numerals, from |book=1 to |book=6.
  • |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. 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.
    • 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).
You must specify this information to have the template link to an online version of the work.
  • |4=, |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.
