This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Daniel Defoe's work The Fortunate Mistress; or, A History of the Life and Vast Variety of Fortunes of Mademoiselle de Beleau, afterwards Call’d the Countess de Wintselsheim, in Germany. Being the Person Known by the Name of the Lady Roxana, in the Time of King Charles II., generally known as Roxana: The Fortunate Mistress (1740); the 1st edition (London: T. Warner ; W. Meadows ; W. Pepper ; S. Harding ; and T. Edlin , 1724; →OCLC) is not currently available online. The template can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |chapter= – if quoting from the preface, specify |chapter=The Preface. The main part of the work is not divided into chapters.
• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: 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 link to the online version of the work.

Specify the pages of the preface as |page=3 and |page=4, even though the page numbers are not indicated.

• |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.
