This template may be used in "References" and "Further reading" sections, and on talk pages, for citing the online version of the Collins English Dictionary ("CED") at http://www.collinsdictionary.com.

The template takes the following parameters:

|1= or |entry= – the name of the entry on the CED website. If this parameter is omitted, the name of the Wiktionary entry is used as a default.
|pos= or |part of speech= – the part of speech of the entry. By default, the template italicizes the value assigned to the parameter and adds a full stop (period) to the end. To turn off the default formatting for the purpose of specifying a different formatting using wikitext markup and templates, specify |noformat=1 or |noformat=yes: see the example below.
|2= or |url= – the template can usually automatically create a link to the CED website. However, if the link is incorrect, use this parameter to manually specify the URL of the CED webpage.
|3= or |accessdate= – the date when the CED webpage was accessed, in one of the following formats: 1 January 2017 or January 1, 2017
|source= – the source used by the CED website:
- COBUILD – Collins COBUILD Advanced Dictionary (6th edition, 2009).
- Webster – Webster's New World College Dictionary (4th edition, 2010).

For help with adding additional sources to this template, please leave a message on the talk page.

|4= or |passage= – a passage quoted from the webpage.
|nodot= – by default, the template adds a full stop (period) at the end of the citation. To suppress this punctuation, use |nodot=1 or |nodot=yes.
