Usage[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Mary Wollstonecraft’s works published in Posthumous Works of the Author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (edited by William Godwin, 1st edition, 1798, 4 volumes), which includes Maria: or, The Wrongs of Woman as “Wrongs of Woman”. The template can be used to create a link to an online versions of the work at Google Books:

Parameters[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1= or |volume= – the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=IV.
Quoting the preface
  • |sig= or |signature=, and |verso= – as the preface is unpaginated, |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 |verso=1 or |verso=yes; if |verso= is omitted, the template indicates that a recto (right-hand) page is quoted.
    • If quoting a range of signatures, for example, "signature b 2, verso – b 3, 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.
Quoting the author’s preface
  • |chapter= – specify |chapter=Author's Preface.
  • |2= or |page= – as the author’s preface is unpaginated, specify the “page number” assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=SWZVAAAAcAAJ&pg=PP21, specify |page=21.
Quoting lessons
  • |lesson= – the lesson number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |lesson=I to |lesson=XIV.
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages= – if the section of the work quoted from is paginated, 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: |pages=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 to have the template determine the chapter quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.
  • |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the work.
  • |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
  • |brackets= – use |brackets=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.
