This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Thomas Babington Macaulay's work The Miscellaneous Writings and Speeches of Lord Macaulay (new edition, 1871). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work (contents) at the Internet Archive.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1=, |chapter=, or |poem= – mandatory: the name of the chapter or poem quoted from. If the parameter is given the value specified in the first column of the following table, the template will indicate the chapter name as shown in the second column:

For help with adding other chapter names to the template, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".

• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: 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 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.
