This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Edward Bulwer-Lytton's work Richelieu; or, The Conspiracy (1st edition, 1839). 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:

• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. 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=vii–viii.
  • 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, if quoting from "Richelieu" the act number (I–V) and scene number quoted from, or the part of the work quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

• |scene= – if quoting from "Richelieu", in most cases if the page number is specified the template can determine the scene number. If it is unable to do so, use this parameter to specify the scene number in lowercase Roman numerals, like this: |scene=i.
• |line= or |lines= – if quoting from "Richelieu", the line number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of numbers, separate the first and last numbers of the range with an en dash, like this: |lines=10–11.
• |stanza= – if quoting from one of the odes, the stanza number in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |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.
