This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from a collection of Thomas Dekker's dramatic works entitled The Dramatic Works of Thomas Dekker (1st edition, 1873, 4 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books:

• Volume I (contents; archived at the Internet Archive).
• Volume II (contents; archived at the Internet Archive).
• Volume III (contents; archived at the Internet Archive).
• Volume IV (contents; archived at the Internet Archive).

If a specific quotation template for a work exists (for example, {{RQ:Dekker Lust's Dominion}}), use that template instead.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=IV.
• |2=, |chapter=, or |title= – mandatory: the "chapter" or title of the work quoted from.

For help with adding other works to the template, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".

• |subchapter= or |subtitle= – the name of a subchapter or subtitle quoted from.
• |3= or |act= – the act number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |4= or |scene= – the scene number quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals.
• |5= or |page=; or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting from the memoir of Dekker, specify the page number(s) in lowercase Roman numerals. 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 or |pages=x–xi.
  • 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).

This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.

• |6=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the work.
• |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.
