This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Thomas Browne's works Hydriotaphia, Urn Burial and The Garden of Cyrus (1st edition, 1658). It 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= –
  • Specify |chapter=Thomas Le Gros or |chapter=Nicholas Bacon if quoting from the epistles dedicatory to the persons named, or |chapter=Stationer if quoting from "The Stationer to the Reader". As these chapters are not paginated, use |1= or |page= to specify "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/McGillLibrary-osl_bo4500_hydrotaphia_thomas_browne_B884h1658_c2-20187/page/n10/mode/1up, specify |page=10.
  • If quoting from the main part of the work, if the page number is specified the template will determine the chapter numbers quoted from.
• |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 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 to determine if Hydriotaphia, Urn Burial or The Garden of Cyrus is being quoted from and the chapter number, and to link to the online version of the work.

• |2=, |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.
