This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote William Robertson's work The History of Scotland, during the Reigns of Queen Mary and of King James VI, till His Accession to the Crown of England (1st edition, 1759, 2 volumes). The template can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the HathiTrust Digital Library:

• Volume I (books I–V) (archived at the Internet Archive).
• Volume II (books VI–VIII, Appendix, and "Critical Dissertation") (archived at the Internet Archive).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=I or |volume=II.
• |2= or |book= – mandatory: the main part of the work is divided into eight books; indicate the book number in uppercase Roman numerals, from |book=I to |book=VIII.
• |part= and |document= – to quote from the Appendix or the "Critical Dissertation" in Volume II, use |part= with the value indicated in the "Parameter value" column of the table below:

Use |document= to specify the name of the document in the Appendix quoted from.

• |3= or |page=; or |pages= – 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 link to an online version of the work.

• The page numbering in Volume II is irregular. It starts from 1 in the Appendix and the "Critical Dissertation".
• In the Appendix, pages 29–36 are incorrectly numbered as pages 21–28; refer to them as pages 29–36.

• |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.
