This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote D. H. Lawrence's work Reflections on the Death of a Porcupine and Other Essays (1st American edition, 1925); the 1st edition published in the same year (London: William Heinemann, 1925; →OCLC) is not currently available online. The template can be used to create a link to an online version of the work (contents) at the HathiTrust Digital Library (archived at the Internet Archive).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |subchapter= – if quoting from "Note to The Crown", specify |subchapter=Note. As it is unpaginated, use |1= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by the HathiTrust Digital Library to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.b3550341&seq=15&view=1up, specify |page=15.
• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. 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 determine the name of the chapter (or, in "The Crown", the part of the work) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

• |2=, |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.
