This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from two versions of Alexander Pope's poem The Rape of the Lock: the two-canto version in Miscellaneous Poems and Translations (1st edition, 1712), and the final five-canto version in The Works of Dr. Alexander Pope (1st edition, 1717, volume I). It may be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

• 1712 version (archived at the Internet Archive).
• 1717 version.

The template takes the following parameters:

1712 version

• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page or range of pages quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=355–356.
  • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified for the template to determine which canto (I or II) is quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.

• |2=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.

1717 version

• |year= – mandatory: to quote from the 1717 version of the poem, specify |year=1717.
• |canto= – the canto number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, |canto=I to |canto=V.
• |page= or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page or range of pages quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=121–122.
  • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified for the template to link to the online version of the work.

• |text= or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.

Both versions

• |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.
