This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote H. G. Wells's work The World of William Clissold (1926); a complete version of the 1st edition is not currently available online. It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive and Project Gutenberg Australia:

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |book= – mandatory: the book number quoted from (|book=1 to |book=6) or |book=Epilogue.
• |2=, |chapter=, or |section= – each book is divided into sections. Use this parameter to specify the section number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
• |chaptername= or |sectionname= – the name of the section quoted from (see the links above).
• |3= 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=110–111.
  • 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).

You must specify this information to have the template link to an online version of the work.

• |4=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted from the work.
• |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.
