This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Thomas Dekker and John Webster's work The Famous History of Sir Thomas Wyat (1st edition, 1607). As this edition is not currently available online, the template can be used to create a link to an online version of a 1914 reprint of the work at the Internet Archive.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |sig= or |signature=, and |verso= – as the work is unpaginated and not divided into acts and scenes, |sig= or |signature= can be used to specify the signature number quoted from, which is indicated at the bottom centre of some pages. If quoting from a verso (left-hand) page specify |verso=1 or |verso=yes; if |verso= is omitted, the template indicates that a recto (right-hand) page is quoted.
  • If quoting a range of signatures, for example, "signature A2, verso – A3, recto", use |sig= or |signature=, and |verso=, to specify the signature at the start of the range, and |sigend= or |signatureend=, and |versoend=, (if required) to specify the signature at the end of the range.
  • If this parameter is omitted, the template displays the URL of the online version of the work as a superscript link after the title of the work.
• |1= or |page= – mandatory in some cases: use this parameter to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/famoushistoryofs22dekkuoft/page/14/mode/1up, specify |page=14. This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.
• |2=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment about 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.
