This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Aphra Behn's work The Feign'd Curtizans, or, A Nights Intrigue (1st edition, 1679). It may be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |chapter= – if quoting from a chapter indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

As the epistle dedicatory and prologue are unpaginated, use |1= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/feigndcurtizanso00behn/page/n2/mode/1up, specify |page=2.

• |1= 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 numbers 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 act (I–V) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

• |act= – mandatory in some cases: in most cases the template will determine the act number quoted from if the page number is specified. However, it is unable to do so if page 24, 39, or 53 is quoted from, in which case the act number must be manually specified in uppercase Roman numerals, like this: |act=II.

• |scene= – mandatory in some cases: only Act I is expressly divided into two scenes. In most cases the template will determine the scene number quoted from if the page number is specified. However, it is unable to do so if page 6 is quoted from, in which case the scene number must be manually specified in lowercase Roman numerals, like this: |scene=i.
• |2=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment about 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.

• Wikitext:
  • {{RQ:Behn Feign'd Curtizans|page=59|passage=His Miſtreſs: vvhoſe Miſtreſs, vvhat Miſtreſs; s'life hovv that little vvord has '''nettled''' me!}} (the template can automatically determine the act and scene numbers quoted from); or
  • {{RQ:Behn Feign'd Curtizans|59|His Miſtreſs: vvhoſe Miſtreſs, vvhat Miſtreſs; s'life hovv that little vvord has '''nettled''' me!}}
