Template:RQ:Beaumont Fletcher Comedies and Tragedies/documentation

Usage
This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from the first and second folios of and John Fletcher's plays, entitled Fifty Comedies and Tragedies (1st folio, 1647; 2nd folio, 1679), which were written by Beaumont, Fletcher, and other playwrights. It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:


 * 1st folio (1647) (catalogue of plays).
 * 2nd folio (1679) (catalogue of plays).

Where a quotation template for a specific play exists (for example, ), use that template instead of this one.

Parameters
The template takes the following parameters:


 * 1st folio (1647)
 * url – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from an unpaginated page, use this parameter to manually specify the URL of the webpage that the template should link to, like this: https://archive.org/details/BeaumontFletcher1647/page/n447/mode/1up. This parameter must be specified for the template to link to the online version of the work.


 * 2nd folio (1679)
 * folio – mandatory: if quoting from the 2nd folio, specify 2nd.
 * part – mandatory in some cases: the work is notionally divided into two parts. The first part has page numbers from 1 to 578, and in the second part (starting with the play The Queen of Corinth) the page numbers restart at 1 and run to 557. To quote from the second part of the work, specify 2. If this parameter is omitted the template defaults to the first part of the work.


 * Both folios
 * 1 or title – mandatory: the title of the play quoted from, as follows:


 * To request for further titles to be added to the template, please leave a message on the template talk page or at "Grease pit".


 * 2 or act – mandatory: the act number of the play quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
 * 3 or scene – mandatory: the scene number of the play quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals.
 * section – Four Plays in One is divided into the following sections: the Induction, The Triumph of Honor, The Triumph of Love, The Triumph of Death, and The Triumph of Time. However, these are not clearly indicated in this work. If desired, consult this 1812 edition to determine the section and use section to specify the section, and scene to specify the scene quoted from.
 * 4 or page, or pages – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. Note the following:

1st folio: 2nd folio: in the first part, the page numbers 279 and 280 are repeated. Specify " 279A " and " 280A " to quote the second occurrences of those page numbers.
 * The pagination is erratic and restarts from page 1 eight times. If the title of the play quoted from is specified, the template is able to determine the correct page to link to.
 * The prologue of The Fair Maid of the Inn is on an incorrectly repeated page 50. If quoting this page, specify " 50A ".


 * If using pages to quote a range of pages, note the following:
 * Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: 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).
 * This parameter must be specified for the template to link to an online version of the work.


 * column or columns – the column number(s) quoted from in Arabic numerals, either 1 or 2. When referring to a passage that spans both columns, either omit the parameter or use an en dash like this: 1–2.
