Template:RQ:Shakespeare Merry Wives Q1/documentation

Usage
This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from the earliest known version of 's work , the First Quarto (1602). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived 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 work does not have act and scene numbers, look up the act and scene numbers from a modern edition of the play.
 * page – mandatory in some cases: as the work is unpaginated, use page to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is, specify 11. This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.
 * sig or signature, and verso – sig or signature can be used to specify the signature number quoted from, which is indicated at the bottom centre of some pages. 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 a signature number is not indicated on a page, extrapolate it from the signature numbers before and after the page and enclose it in brackets using  and   For example, if the previous signature number is A3 and the next one is B, specify the missing signature number as &amp;#91;A4&amp;#93;.
 * If quoting a range of signatures, for example, "signatures A3, verso – [A4], recto", use sig or signature, and verso, to specify the signature at the start of the range, and sigend or signatureend, and versoend, (if required) to specify the signature at the end of the range.
 * If this parameter is omitted, the template links the URL of the online version of the work to the act and scene numbers.
 * line or lines – the line number(s) to be quoted, from a modern edition of the play.
 * 3, text, or passage – the passage to be quoted.
 * 4, t, or 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.
