This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Michael Drayton's work Poly-Olbion (1st part, 1st edition, 1612, and 1613 version; 2nd part, 1st edition, 1622). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

• 1st part:
  • 1st edition (1612).
  • 1613 version (archived at the Internet Archive).
• 2nd part (1st edition, 1622; archived at the Internet Archive).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |part= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 2nd part, specify |part=2.
• |year= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1613 version of the 1st edition, specify |year=1613. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1612).
• |1= or |chapter= – mandatory: the name of the chapter quoted from. In particular, if quoting from the chapters of the work indicated in the second column of the following table, specify as the value of the parameter what is indicated in the first column:

As "To the General Reader" and "From the Author of the Illustrations" are unpaginated, use |2= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books or the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=_VliAAAAcAAJ&pg=PP15 specify |page=15, and if it is https://archive.org/details/bim_early-english-books-1475-1640_poly-olbion-_drayton-michael_1612/page/n8/mode/1up specify |page=8. (The other chapters indicated above are also unpaginated, but the template is able to determine the URL.)

• |sig= or |signature=, and |verso= – if quoting from "To the General Reader" or "From the Author of the Illustrations", |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, "signatures A, verso – A, 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 links the URL of the online version of the work to the chapter name.
• |part= – mandatory in some cases: the 1st part of the work was edited by John Selden, who also wrote "Illustrations" to the work. Specify |part=Illustrations if quoting from one of the illustrations.

• |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 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.

• |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.
