Usage
This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from a 1489 manuscript (Advocates MS. 19.2.2) of 's epic poem , written ; it can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the National Library of Scotland. If one needs help reading the text, it may be helpful to consult 's edition: (volume I, volume II).

At Wiktionary, is treated as a kind of (northern)  (see About Middle English and About Scots). As a result, this template should usually only be used in Middle English entries, though is can be used on Scots or (modern) English entries in exceptional cases to illustrate the historical breadth of a word's use or development.

Parameters
The template takes the following parameters:


 * 1 or folio, and verso – the original manuscript is conventionally numbered by folios rather than page numbers. The folio number is indicated on the top right corner of each recto (right-hand) page. Use 1 or folio to indicate the folio number in Arabic numerals, and if quoting from a verso (left-hand) page specify 1 or yes; if verso is omitted, the template indicates that a recto (right-hand) page is quoted. If quoting a range of folios, for example, "folios 10, verso – 11, recto", note the following:
 * Use folio and verso to specify the folio at the start of the range, and folioend and versoend (if required) to specify the folio at the end of the range.
 * In addition, use folioref and versoref to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears). (If quoting a recto page, omit versoend and versoref.)
 * If this parameter is omitted, the template will not generate a page-specific link to the online version of the work.


 * book – the work is conventionally divided into twenty books by modern editors for the sake of convenience. Use book to indicate the book number in uppercase Roman numerals if desired.
 * column or columns – the column number(s) quoted from, either 1 or 2.
 * line or lines – the line number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of lines, separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: 110–111. The work does not indicate line numbers, so if it is desired to include these, look them up from a later edition of the work.
 * 2, text, or passage – a passage to be quoted from the work.
 * 3, t, or translation – a translation of the passage into contemporary English.
 * footer – a comment about the passage quoted.
 * brackets – use 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.
 * termlang – by default, the template categorizes entries on which it is placed into Category:Middle English terms with quotations. To have the template categorize an entry into Category:English terms with quotations instead, use en.
