This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's work Aftermath (1st edition, 1873), which contains the third part of his "Tales of a Wayside Inn" and the "third flight" of "Birds of Passage". It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books.

The template takes the following parameters:

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

• |stanza= – the stanza number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) to be 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 whether "Tales of a Wayside Inn" or "Birds of Passage" is quoted from, and to 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.
