This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from a compilation of Joseph Addison's works entitled The Works of the Right Honourable Joseph Addison, Esq (1st edition, 1721, 4 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

• Volume I (contents).
• Volume II.
• Volume III.
• Volume IV.

If a specific quotation template exists for a particular work (for example, {{RQ:Addison Rosamond}}), use that template instead of this one.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume of the work quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=IV.
• |2= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from. For the works indicated in the second column of the following table, specify as the parameter value what is indicated in the first column:

For help with adding other works to the template, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".

• |subchapter= – the name of a subchapter quoted from, for example, |subchapter=Dialogue I.
• |issue= and |date= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from The Free-holder, use |issue= to specify the issue number in Arabic numerals, and |date= to specify the date of the issue as shown in the work (which will be converted from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar) in the following format: "23 December 1715".
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page or range of pages 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.

• |4=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |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.
