This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Tobias Smollett's work The Reprisal: Or, The Tars of Old England (1st edition, 1757). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |chapter= – if quoting from the prologue, specify |chapter=Prologue.
• |1= or |scene= – mandatory: the scene number of the play quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting from the prologue, indicate the page number as page 3 or 4, even though the prologue is unpaginated in the work. 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.
  • 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 act number (I or II) 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.
