This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Alexander Pope, William Broome, and Elijah Fenton's translation of Homer's Odyssey (1st edition, 1725–1726, 5 volumes). It may be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books:

• Volume I (1725; books I–IV; archived at the Internet Archive).
• Volume II (1725; books V–IX; archived at the Internet Archive).
• Volume III (1725; books X–XIV; archived at the Internet Archive).
• Volume IV (1726; books XV–XIX; archived at the Internet Archive).
• Volume V (1726; books XX–XXIV; archived at the Internet Archive).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |book=, or |chapter= – mandatory:
  • If quoting from a book of the Odyssey, use |1= or |book= to indicate the book number in uppercase Roman numerals. This parameter must be specified for the template to determine the volume (I–V) quoted from.
  • If quoting from some other chapter of the work, use |chapter= to specify the chapter name. In this case, the parameter |volume= must be used to manually specify the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, like this: |volume=I.
• |section= – this parameter may be used to indicate a portion of the work quoted from; for example, if quoting from a footnote on a page, specify |section=footnote.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: 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 information must be specified to have the template link to an online version of the work.

• |url= – in most cases, the template will automatically link to the correct webpage if |page= or |pageref= is specified. However, if it does not, use this parameter to manually specify the URL to link to, like this: |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=TzU-AAAAcAAJ&pg=PR1.
• |line= or |lines= – the line number(s) of the passage quoted. If quoting a range of lines, separate the first and last line numbers of the range with an en dash.
• |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.
