This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Robert FitzRoy, Phillip Parker King, and Charles Darwin's work Narrative of the Surveying Voyages of His Majesty’s Ships Adventure and Beagle, between the Years 1826 and 1836 (1st edition, 1839, 3 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

• Volume I (by FitzRoy and King).
• Volume II (by FitzRoy and King).
• Volume III (by Darwin).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=III.
• |2= or |chapter= – the chapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |section= – a section of the work quoted from, for example, |section=footnote †.
• |3= 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 an online version of the work.

• |4=, |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.
