This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Louisa May Alcott's work Lulu's Library (1st edition, 1886–1889, 3 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the HathiTrust Digital Library:

• Volume I:
  • 1st edition (1886) .
  • 1890 version (contents; archived at the Internet Archive).
• Volume II (1st edition, 1887; contents; archived at the Internet Archive).
• Volume III:
  • 1st edition (1889)
  • 1906 version (contents; archived at the Internet Archive).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |year= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1890 version of volume I specify |year=1890, and if quoting from the 1906 version of volume III specify |year=1906. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st editions (volume I, 1886; and volume III, 1889).
• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=III.
• |section= – if a short story is divided into sections, the section number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: 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 determine the name of the short story quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.

• |3=, |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.
