It provides a link to Frédéric Godefroy and to an online version of the dictionary. It is mainly used in Old French entries, but can be used for other languages, such as to support the etymology of a Modern French or Modern English word. It takes two optional parameters:

 * , to specify a superscripted entry number (1, 2, 3, etc.) before the entry. This is the format used in the dictionary itself

Usage guidelines
The dictionary is written in French, and omits definitions where the Old and Modern French words are the same or very similar. For example, it does not list to mean eagle, as the reader is expected to assume that the Old French is the same as the Modern French. In these cases, the supplement, which is almost as large as the main dictionary, usually lists the modern meaning (but not always).

To link to both the main dictionary and the supplement, use the template twice. This is uncommon, but can be seen in ( permanent link ).

The dictionary includes citations up to and beyond 1600, despite in its title says " and all its dialects from the 9th to the 14th Century."
