This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Lord Byron's work The Bride of Abydos. A Turkish Tale. (1st edition, 1813). 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=, |stanza=, or |note= –
  • If quoting from the main part of the work, the stanza number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
  • If quoting from one of the notes, the note number in Arabic numerals and, if desired, the page and line number referred to.
• |line= or |lines= – if quoting from the main part of the work, 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.
• |2= 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 determine the part of the work quoted from (canto I or II, or the notes), and to link to the 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.
