This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from a collection of Peter Pindar 's works entitled The Works of Peter Pindar, Esq. (new edition, 1812, 5 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

If a specific quotation template exists (for example, {{RQ:Pindar Lousiad}}), use it instead of this template.

For help with adding titles to the template, leave a comment on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".

Where a specific quotation template exists (for example, {{RQ:Pindar Lousiad}}), use it instead of this template.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=V.
• |chapter= or |subtitle= – the chapter or subtitle, forming part of a title, quoted from.
• |canto= – if a title is divided into cantos (for example, The Lousiad), the canto number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |footnote= – if quoting from a footnote, the footnote symbol.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: 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=x–xi.
  • 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 the title quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.

• |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.
