Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote John Aubrey's work Brief Lives (1898, 2 volumes), edited by Andrew Clark. It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

• Volume I (A-H).
• Volume II (I–Y; appendices).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=I or |volume=II.
• |author= – if quoting from a part of the work by the editor, Andrew Clark, such as a footnote, specify |author=Clark. In some cases, if the page number is specified the template can identify a chapter (such as the preface or introduction) as having been written by Clark.
• |2=, |chapter=, or |entry= – mandatory: if quoting from the main part of the work, the name of the "chapter" or entry quoted from, usually the name of a person.
• |subchapter= – if quoting from the introduction, the subchapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, followed by the name of the subchapter, like this: |subchapter=I. Origin of the ‘Lives’.
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. 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 or |pages=x–xi.
  • 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 chapter of the work quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.

• |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.
