This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Samuel Butler (1835–1902)'s work The Way of All Flesh (1st edition, 1903; and 1964 version). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

• 1st edition (1903) – substantially changed by the editor, R. A. Streatfeild.
• 1964 version – based on Butler's manuscript.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |year= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1964 version, specify |year=1964. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1903).
• |1= or |chapter= – either:
  • the name of the chapter quoted from, such as "Introduction" or "Note"; or,
  • in the main part of the work, the chapter number in uppercase Roman numerals if quoting from the 1st edition, and in Arabic numerals if quoting from the 1964 version.

In the 1964 version, from chapter 65 onwards the chapter number used in the 1st edition is indicated in parentheses. Ignore that number and specify only the chapter number not in parentheses.

• |section= – if quoting from the introduction in the 1964 version, the section number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |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. 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, in the 1964 version, the volume number (I–III) and part number quoted from, and to link to the 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.
