This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Raphael Holinshed's work Chronicles of England, Scotlande, and Irelande (1st edition, 1577, 2 volumes; and 2nd edition, 1587, 3 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

The template takes the following parameters:

• |edition= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 2nd edition (1587), specify |edition=2nd. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1577).
• |1= or |volume= – the volume of the work quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=I or |volume=II in the 1st edition; or from |volume=I to |volume=III in the 2nd edition. In the 1st edition, if this parameter is omitted the template defaults to volume I.
• |2= or |book= – mandatory: for volume I, use this parameter to indicate the book quoted from, as follows:

• |3= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from. If quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

If quoting from one of the above chapters which is unpaginated, use |4= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/firstevolumeofch01wolf/page/n8/mode/1up, specify |page=8.

• |folio= and |verso= – mandatory in some cases: in volume I, the Description of Britaine and the "Description of Irelande" chapter of the Historie of Irelande are numbered by folios instead of pages:
  • Indicate the folio number, and use |verso=1 or |verso=yes to indicate that the verso (left-hand page) is being quoted from. If |verso= is omitted, the template assumes that the recto (right-hand page) is being quoted from. This parameter must be specified for the template to link to the online versions of the work.
  • If quoting a range of folios, for example, "folios 10, verso – 11, recto", use |folio= and |verso= to specify the folio at the start of the range, and |folioend= and |versoend= (if required) to specify the folio at the end of the range. In addition, use |folioref= and |versoref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears). (If quoting a recto page, omit |versoend= and |versoref=.)
• |4= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: other parts of the work are numbered by pages. Use these parameters to specify the page or range of pages quoted from. 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.
  • 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, in some cases, determine the name of the chapter quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.

• In The Historie of Scotlande, the page numbering starts from 1 in the "Description of Scotlande" chapter, then restarts from 1 in the main "Historie of Scotlande" part. If quoting from the "Description of Scotlande", specify |chapter=Description of Scotland.
• In The Historie of Irelande, in the part with leaves which are paginated and not foliated, the pages indicated in the first column of the following table are incorrectly numbered; the text is unaffected. Give the parameter |4= or |page= the value indicated in the second column instead:

Incorrect page number(s) printed in the work	Correct page number to specify
78 (after 91)	91A
88 (after 78)	91B
91 (after 88)	91C

• In volume II, the pages indicated in the first column of the following table are incorrectly numbered; the text is unaffected. Give the parameter |4= or |page= the value indicated in the second column instead:

Incorrect page number(s) printed in the work	Correct page number to specify
389 (after 398)	399
403–414 (after 400)	401–412
417–427 (after 414)	415–425
396 (after 427 )	426
429 (after 396 )	427
424 (after 433)	434

• |column= or |columns= – the column number(s) quoted from. If quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or separate the first and last column numbers with an en dash, like this: |columns=1–2.
• |5=, |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.
