This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from a collection of Lord Byron's works entitled The Complete Poetical Works of Lord Byron (1st edition, 1907). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work (contents) at the Internet Archive.

Where a specific quotation template exists (for example, {{RQ:Byron Hours of Idleness}}), use it instead of this template.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1=, |chapter=, or |poem= – mandatory: the name of the chapter or poem quoted from. If quoting from one of the poems indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

For help with linking English Wikipedia articles or adding dates of writing or publication to the template, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".

• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: 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=x–xi.
  • 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 link to the online version of the work.

• |canto= and/or |stanza= – the canto and/or stanza number quoted from.
• |column= or |columns= – the column number quoted from, either |column=1 or |column=2. If quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or separate the column numbers with an en dash, like this: |columns=1–2.
• |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.
