This template may be used in "References" and "Further reading" sections and on talk pages to format quotations from Joseph Wright's work The English Dialect Dictionary (1st edition, 1898–1905, 6 volumes). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive:

• Volume I (A–C).
• Volume II (D–G).
• Volume III (H–L).
• Volume IV (M–Q).
• Volume V (R–S).
• Volume VI (T–Z, Supplement, Bibliography and Grammar).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |volume= and |part= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the supplement, bibliography, or grammar in volume VI specify |volume=VI, and give |part= the value indicated in the first column of the following table:

If |part= is omitted, the template defaults to the T–Z part of volume VI.

• |chapter= and |chaptername= – if quoting from the grammar, use |chapter= to specify the chapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, and |chaptername= the name of the chapter.
• |1= or |entry= – the entry or headword in the work to be quoted from. If this parameter is omitted, the template uses the name of the Wiktionary entry.
• |2=, |pos=, or |part of speech= – the part of speech of the entry. By default, the template italicizes the value assigned to the parameter and adds a full stop (period) to the end. To turn off the default formatting for the purpose of specifying a different formatting using wikitext markup and templates, specify |noformat=1 or |noformat=yes: see the example below.
• |subentry= – a term that appears as a subentry under an entry.
• |subpos= – the part of speech of the subentry.
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
  • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template link to an online version of the work.

• |column= or |columns= – the column number(s) to be quoted from in Arabic numerals, either |column=1 or |column=2. When referring to a passage that spans both columns, either omit this parameter or use an en dash like this: |columns=1–2.
• |4=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |nodot= – by default, the template adds a full stop (period) at the end of the citation. To suppress this punctuation, use |nodot=1 or |nodot=yes.
