This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Francis Grose's work A Treatise on Ancient Armour and Weapons (1st edition, 1786–1789). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from. If quoting from a chapter indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

As the "Addenda" is unpaginated, use |2= or |page= 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/treatiseonancien00grosrich/page/n242/mode/1up, specify |page=242.

• |subchapter= – the name of a subchapter quoted from (for example, |subchapter=Advertisement if quoting from this subchapter in the supplement).
• |footnote= – if quoting from a footnote, the footnote letter quoted from.
• |2= 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. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11 or |pages=x–xi.
  • 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= – a passage to be 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.
