This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from a collection of Thomas Babington Macaulay's works entitled Critical and Historical Essays, Contributed to the Edinburgh Review (2nd edition, 1843, 3 volumes); the 1st edition published in the same year (London: Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans, 1843; →OCLC) is not currently available online. The template can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

• Volume I (contents).
• Volume II (contents).
• Volume III (contents).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=III.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. 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 or |pages=vii–viii.
  • 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 quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

• |3=, |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.
