This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from William H. Prescott's work History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella, the Catholic (1st edition, 1838, 3 volumes). It may be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the HathiTrust Digital Library:

• Volume I (archived at the Internet Archives).
• Volume II (archived at the Internet Archives).
• Volume III (archived at the Internet Archives).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=III.
• |2= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from.
• |section= – if quoting from the introduction in volume I, the section number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals followed by the name of the section in parentheses.
• |3= 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. 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 determine the part (1st or 2nd) quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.

• |4=, |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.
