This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from collected version of Alfred, Lord Tennyson's works entitled The Complete Poetical Works of Alfred Tennyson (1897). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work (contents) at the Internet Archive.

Where a specific quotation template exists (for example, {{RQ:Tennyson Poems 1833}}), use it instead of this template.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1=, |poem=, or |title= – mandatory: the name of the poem quoted from. If quoting from one of the poems indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

For help with linking other English Wikipedia articles or adding dates to the template, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".

• |stanza= – if the poem quoted from is divided into stanzas, use this parameter to specify the stanza number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: 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.

• |line= or |lines= – the line number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of line numbers, separate the first and last numbers of the range with an en dash, like this: |lines=10–11.
• |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the work.
• |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.
