This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from a collection of Alexander Pope's works called The Works of Alexander Pope Esq. (1st edition, 1751, 9 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

If a specific quotation template is available for a particular work (for example, {{RQ:Pope Dunciad}}), use that template in preference to this one.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=IX.
• |2=, |chapter=, or |title= – mandatory: the chapter name or title of the specific work quoted from. If the parameter is given the value shown in the first column of the following table, the template will display what is indicated in the second column, and will provide a link to an English Wikipedia article about the specific work if available:

For help with adding other works or links to other Wikipedia articles, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".

• |date=, or (|month= and) |year= – if the title quoted from is separately dated (for example, if it is a letter), use |date= to specify the date in the format 26 December 1704 or December 26, 1704. The date will be converted from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. If only the month and year, or year alone, of the title is known, use |month= and/or |year= to specify this information.
• |section= – a section that a work is subdivided into, for example: |section=canto I, |section=epistle I (Of the Nature and State of Man with Respect to the Universe), or |section=stanza 1.
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page or range of pages quoted from, either in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. 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=10–11 or |pages=x–xi.
  • 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 to have the template link to an online version of the work.

• |line= or |lines= – the line number(s) of the passage quoted.
• |4=, |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.
