Template:RQ:Shakespeare Measure/documentation

Usage
This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from 's ', which was first published in the ' (1623). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

Parameters
The template takes the following parameters:


 * 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 act and scene numbers in the original play may differ from those in modern editions, look up the act and scene numbers from a modern edition of the play.
 * 3 or page, or pages – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) of the work. 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: 61–62.
 * 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.


 * 4 or column, or columns – the column number(s) to be 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.
 * line or lines – the line number(s) to be quoted, from a modern edition of the play.
 * 5, text, or passage – the passage to be quoted.
 * 6, t, translation – a translation of the passage into contemporary English.
 * footer – a comment about 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.
