The template can be used to create links to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

Parameters
[edit]The template takes the following parameters:
|edition=

. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st American edition (1878).|1=
or|chapter=
– the name of the chapter quoted from.|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:
|pages=10–11
. - You must also use

|3=
,|text=
, or|passage=
– the passage to be quoted.|footer=

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.
