This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Edward Bradley’s work The Adventures of Mr. Verdant Green (1st edition, 1853). 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:

• |chapter= – if the page quoted from contains two chapters (on pages 8, 45, 55, 66, and 87), specify the chapter number in uppercase Roman numerals; if not, the template will determine the chapter quoted from if the page parameter is specified.
• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
  • You must also use |pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the chapter quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.

• |2=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the work.
• |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.
