Template:RQ:Malory Le Morte Darthur/documentation

Usage
This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from two versions of 's work . (1st edition, 1485). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive and The Malory Project:


 * The Winchester Manuscript (copied by scribes between 1470 and 1483).
 * The 1485 edition revised and printed by, in an 1889 version edited by Heinrich Oskar Sommer:
 * Part 1 (book I, capitulum primum – book X, capitulum vij).
 * Part 2 (book X, capitulum octauum – book XXI, capitulum xiii).
 * (The work was published in a single volume, but appears in two parts at the Internet Archive.)

Parameters
The template takes the following parameters:


 * Winchester Manuscript (1470–1483)
 * version – mandatory: if quoting from the Winchester Manuscript, specify WM.
 * folio and verso – mandatory: the work is numbered by folios rather than page numbers. Use folio to indicate the folio number in Arabic numerals, and if quoting from a verso (left-hand) page specify 1 or 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 449, verso – 450, 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 to have the template determine the informal chapter name given to the part of the work quoted from as indicated in the following table, and to link to the online version of the work:


 * 1485 edition
 * 1 or book – mandatory: the book number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
 * 2 or chapter – the chapter number quoted from. In the work, the capitulum number is either indicated as a word (for example, "Capitulum primum") or a lowercase Roman numeral (for example, "Capitulum viij").
 * leaf and verso – the leaf or folio number of the 1485 edition of the work quoted from, which is indicated at the bottom left corner of each page. If quoting from a verso (left-hand) page, specify 1 or yes; if this parameter is omitted, the template indicates that a recto (right-hand) page is quoted. If quoting a range of leaves, for example, "leaves 10, verso – 11, recto", note the following use leaf and verso to specify the leaf or folio at the start of the range, and leafend and versoend (if required) to specify the leaf at the end of the range.
 * 3 or page, or pages – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) of the 1889 edition quoted from, which is indicated at the centre of the top of each page. 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).
 * This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.


 * Both editions
 * line or lines – the line number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of lines, separate the first and last line numbers with an en dash.
 * 4, text, or passage – a passage quoted from the book.
 * 5, t, or translation – a translation of the passage quoted into contemporary English.
 * footer – a comment about the passage.
 * 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, for example when quoting from the preface or editor's note, use en.
