This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Oliver Goldsmith's work The Citizen of the World (1st collected edition, 1762; and 1794 edition; both in 2 volumes). The template can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

• 1st collected edition (1762):
  • Volume I.
  • Volume II.
• 1794 edition:
  • Volume I.
  • Volume II.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |year= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1794 edition, specify |year=1794.
• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=I or |volume=II.
• |2= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from. If quoting from "Memoirs of the Life and Writings of Oliver Goldsmith, M.B." in the 1794 edition, specify |chapter=Memoirs.
• |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.
  • 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).

You must specify this information to have the template link to an online version of the work.

In the 1st collected edition (1762), page vii is misnumbered as v. Specify |page=vii; the template encloses it within square brackets.

• |4=, |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.
