This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Walt Whitman's works Drum-Taps (1st edition, 1865) and Sequel to Drum-Taps (1st edition, 1865 (indicated as 1865–1866)), which were always issued together. It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive:

• Drum-Taps (1st edition, 1865; contents).
• Sequel to Drum-Taps (1st edition, 1865 (indicated as 1865–1866); contents).

(Both parts are in the same file.)

The template takes the following parameters:

• |part= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from Sequel to Drum-Taps, specify |part=Sequel. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to Drum-Taps.
• |1=, |chapter=, or |poem= – mandatory: the name of the "chapter" or 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:

• |canto= and/or |stanza= – the canto and/or stanza number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. 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 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.
