This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Gervase Markham's work Countrey Contentments (1st edition, 1615; and revised edition, 1623). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

• 1st edition (1615):
  • Book 1 (The Husbandmans Recreations).
  • Book 2 (The English Hus-wife).
• Revised edition (1623).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |edition= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the revised edition (1623), specify |edition=revised. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1615).
• |book= – mandatory in some cases: in the 1st edition, if quoting from book 2 specify |book=2. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to book 1.
• |1= or |chapter= –
  • If quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

As the epistle dedicatory in the revised edition is unpaginated, use |2= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/b30333143/page/n10/mode/1up, specify |page=10. (The other chapters indicated above are also unpaginated, but the template is able to determine the URL.)

• In the 1st edition in the main part of the work, use this parameter to specify the name of the chapter quoted from.
• In the revised edition, in most cases if the page number is specified the template is able to determine the name of the chapter quoted from. However, it is unable to do so if page 190 or 217 is specified, in which case this parameter must be used to specify the chapter number in uppercase Roman numerals, like this: |chapter=IV.

• |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).

This parameter must be specified to have the template determine, in the 1st edition the section number (1st–4th) in book 1 quoted from, and in the revised edition the name of the chapter quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.

• In the 1st edition, the page numbering starts from 1 in each book.
• In the revised edition, page numbers 79, 80, 173, and 174 are repeated; the text is unaffected. Specify them as |page=79A, |page=80A, |page=173A, and |page=174A.

• |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.
