This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from a collected edition of Henry Fielding's works entitled The Works of Henry Fielding, Esq (1775, 12 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books:

If a quotation template exists for a specific work (for example, {{RQ:Fielding Tom Jones}}), use that template instead of this one.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=XII.
• |2= or |title= – mandatory: the title of the work quoted. If quoting from the work indicated in the second column of the following table, specify as the parameter value what is indicated in the first column:

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

• |book= – if a title is divided into books, the book number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |chapter= and/or |chaptername= – if a title is divided into chapters, use |chapter= to specify the chapter number in uppercase Roman numerals, and |chaptername= the name of the chapter. If the chapter is called "Chapter the Last", specify |chapter=Last.
• |act= and |scene= – if quoting from a play, use |act= to specify the act number in uppercase Roman numerals, and |scene= the scene number in lowercase Roman numerals.
• |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. 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 an online version of the work.

• |4=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the work.
• |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.
