This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote W. N. P. Barbellion’s work The Journal of a Disappointed Man (5th impression, 27 April 1920, of 1st edition, 31 March 1919). The 1st impression is not currently available online, besides a snippet view at Google Books. The template can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |date= – the date of the journal entry quoted from, from |date=3 January 1903 to |date=21 October 1917.
• |chapter= – the section name of the journal entry quoted from, if there is one.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from, in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals (if quoting from the introduction). 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 or |pages=x–xi.
  • 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 whether the introduction is quoted from; otherwise, the part (I–III) of the work 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.
