Template:RQ:Langland Piers Plowman/documentation

Usage
This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from 's  (written ). It can be used to create a link to the following online versions of the work:


 * A 1550 edition at the Internet Archive (default).
 * An 1813 edition at Google Books.

Parameters
The template takes the following parameters:


 * 1550 edition
 * 1, chapter or passus – mandatory:
 * If quoting from the prologue of the work, use Prologue.
 * Otherwise, as the work is divided into 20 passuses (passus is Latin for "step"), specify the passus number in Arabic numerals, like this: 1. To have the template display the passus as it appears in the work (for example, "Passus primus de visione" [first passus of the vision]), add full; otherwise the passus number is displayed like this: "[Passus 1]".
 * 2 or folio, and verso – mandatory in some cases: the work is numbered by folios rather than page numbers. The folio number is indicated on the top right corner of each recto (right-hand) page. Use 2 or folio to indicate the folio number in lowercase Roman numerals, and if quoting from a verso (left-hand) page specify yes; if verso is omitted, the template indicates that a recto (right-hand) page is quoted. If quoting a range of folios, for example, "folios x, verso – xi, recto", note the following:
 * Use folio and verso to specify the folio at the start of the range, and folioend and versoend (if required) to specify the folio at the end of the range.
 * In addition, use folioref and versoref to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears). (If quoting a recto page, omit versoend and versoref.)
 * These parameters must be specified for the template to link to the online version of the work.


 * 3, text, or passage – the passage to be quoted from the work.
 * 4, t, or translation – a translation of the passage into contemporary English.
 * footer – a comment on the passage quoted.
 * brackets – use 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.
 * termlang – by default, the template categorizes entries on which it is placed into Category:Middle English terms with quotations. To have the template categorize an entry into Category:English terms with quotations instead, use en.


 * 1813 edition
 * year – mandatory: specify 1813 to quote from an 1813 edition of the work.
 * 1, chapter or passus – mandatory:
 * If quoting from the prologue of the work, use Prologue.
 * Otherwise, specify the passus quoted from according to the following table:


 * 2 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: 110–111.
 * 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 create an automatic link to the online version of the work.


 * 3 or passage – same as above.
 * 4 or translation – same as above.
 * brackets – same as above.
 * termlang – same as above.
