This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Edgar Rice Burroughs' work A Princess of Mars (1st collected edition, 1917), which was originally entitled Under the Moons of Mars (serialized February–July 1912). The template can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the HathiTrust Digital Library.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) to be 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).

This parameter must be specified for the template to link to the online version of the work.

• |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage 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.
