This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from a collection of Percy Bysshe Shelley's works entitled The Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley (1st edition, 1839, 4 volumes; new edition, 1840; and revised edition, 1870, 2 volumes) edited by Mary Shelley and William Michael Rossetti respectively. It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:
Where a quotation template relating to a specific poem or collection of poems exists (for example, {{RQ:Shelley Queen Mab}}), use it instead of this template.
The template takes the following parameters:
|1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=IV.|edition= – mandatory: if quoting from the new edition, specify |edition=new.|column= and |columns= – the column number quoted from, either |column=1 or |column=2. If quoting from both columns, either omit the parameter or specify |columns=1–2 with an en dash between the column numbers.|author= – if quoting from a part of the work by the editor William Michael Rossetti such as a note, specify |author=Rossetti.|edition= – mandatory: if quoting from the revised edition, specify |edition=revised.|2=, |chapter=, or |poem= – mandatory: the name of the chapter or poem quoted from. If quoting from one of the titles indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:| Parameter value | Result | First page number | ||

|subchapter= – the name of a subchapter quoted from.|year= – the template will try to determine the year when a poem was written or published based on its name, but it may be unable to do so as some poems have the same name (for example, "Lines" or "Sonnet"). In such cases, use this parameter to specify the year.For help with linking a Wikipedia article to the template or providing the year when a poem was written or published, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".
|fragment= or |part= – if a poem is divided into fragments or parts, use one of these parameters to specify the fragment or part quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, or as stated in the work (see the example below).|scene= – if quoting from a play (for example, "Charles the First"), use this parameter to specify the scene number in lowercase Roman numerals.|stanza= or |stanzas= – the stanza number quoted from in Arabic numerals.|3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page or range of pages quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
|pages=10–11.|pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).|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.{{RQ:Shelley Poetical Works|volume=III|poem=Rosalind and Helen|page=103|passage=What seeks he?
