This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Charles Darwin's work The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex (1st edition, 1871, 2 volumes; 2nd edition, 1874). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

• 1st edition (1871):
  • Volume I.
  • Volume II.
• 2nd edition (1874).

The template takes the following parameters:

1st edition (1871)

• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=I or |volume=II.

2nd edition (1874)

• |edition= – mandatory: if quoting from the 2nd edition (1874), specify |edition=2nd.
• |chapter= – mandatory in some cases: in the 2nd edition, pages 127, 260, 274, 330, 358, 404, 463, 500, 525, 585, and 606 contain two chapters; as the template is unable to determine the chapter, specify the number of the chapter quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals if quoting from one of these pages.

Both editions

• |footnote= – if quoting from a footnote, use this parameter to specify the footnote number in Arabic numerals.
• |2= 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).

You must specify this information to have the template determine the part of the work (in the 1st edition, I or II; in the 2nd edition, I, II, or III) and the name of the chapter quoted from, and to link to an 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.
