Descriptions of individual parameters for the citation portion of the quotation (i.e. the first line). Because there
are so many parameters, we divide them into groups. The value of the following is a list of parameter groups, where
each group is a list, structured as follows:
1. The first element is the title of the parameter group.
2. The optional next element, if a string, is prefatory text describing the group in more detail, and will be displayed
before the table of parameters. The string can be multiline (use [=[...]=] to enclose the text), and continuation
lines have special handling, as for parameter descriptions; see below.
3. All following elements describe individual parameters.
An individual parameter description is as follows:
1. The first element is the parameter name or names. If a string, it specifies the only possible name of the parameter,
and is equivalent to a single-element list containing the parameter name. Use a list of strings to specify multiple
aliases with the same meaning, e.g. {"tlr", "translator", "translators"}. You can also specify a list of logically
related parameters, where all parameters are described using a single description. In such a case, specify
<code>useand = true</code> after the parameter names, which causes the parameters to be joined using "and" instead
of "or" (as is normal for aliases). If <code>useand</code> is given, the individual elements of the list may
themselves be lists of aliases, which are displayed separated by slashes. Any element can also be, in place of a
string, a table of the form {param = "PARAM", non_generic = BOOLEAN} where if <code>non_generic = true</code>, the
parameter is specific to a particular {{tl|quote-*}} implementation rather than generic.
For example:
* {"tlr", "translator", "translators"} displays as "|tlr=, |translator= or |translators=", referring to three
aliases.
* {"chapter_series", "chapter_seriesvolume", useand = true} displays as "|chapter_series= and |chapter_seriesvolume=",
referring to logically related parameters.
* {{"chapter_series", {param = "entry_series", non_generic = true}},
{"chapter_seriesvolume", {param = "entry_seriesvolume", non_generic = true}},
useand = true} displays as "|chapter_series=/<u>|entry_series=</u> and |chapter_seriesvolume=/<u>|entry_seriesvolume=</u>",
referring to alias sets of logically related parameters, some of which are non-generic (in this case, the
{{para|entry_*}} params are {{tl|quote-book}}-specific aliases).
Other named fields are possible:
* <code>useand = true</code>: Join the parameters using "and" instead of "or"; see above.
* <code>boolean = true</code>: The parameter(s) are boolean-valued, and will be shown as e.g. {{para|nodate|1}}
instead of just e.g. {{para|date}}.
* <code>required = true</code>: The parameter(s) are required, which will be shown as e.g. {{para|title|req=1}}
instead of just e.g. {{para|author}}.
* <code>literal = true</code>: The parameter value (of which there should be only one) contains already-formatted
parameter descriptions and should be displayed as-is rather than further formatted.
2. The second element is the description of the parameter(s). The string can be multiline (use [=[...]=] to enclose the
text), and continuation lines have special handling. Specifically, a newline and following whitespace will normally
be converted into a single space, so that a long line can be broken into multiple lines and indented appropriately.
This does not happen when there is more than one newline in a row (in such a case, all newlines are preserved as-is).
If the first character on a line is a list element symbol (<code>#</code> or <code>*</code>), the whitespace before
it is deleted but the preceding newline is left as-is. This allows lists to be given in parameter descriptions.

{"Quoted text parameters",
[=[The following parameters describe the quoted text itself. All other groups of parameters control the citation
line. The parameters in this group can be omitted if the quoted text is displayed separately (e.g. in certain East
Asian languages, which have their own templates to display the quoted text, such as {{tl|ja-x}} for Japanese,
{{tl|zh-x}} for Chinese, {{tl|ko-x}} for Korean, {{tl|th-x}} for Thai and {{tl|km-x}} for Khmer). Even in that case,
however, {{para|1}} must still be supplied to indicate the language of the quotation.]=],
{{"1", required = true}, [=[A comma-separated list of language codes indicating the language(s) of the quoted text;
for a list of the codes, see [[Wiktionary:List of languages]]. If the language is other than English, the template
will indicate this fact by displaying "(in [''language''])" (for one language), or "(in [''language''] and
[''language''])" (for two languages), or "(in [''language''], [''language''] ... and [''language''])" (for three or
more languages). The entry page will also be added to a category in the form <code>Category:LANGUAGE terms with
quotations</code> for the first listed language (unless {{para|termlang}} is specified, in which case that language
is used for the category, or {{para|nocat|1}} is specified, in which case the page will not be added to any
category). The first listed language also determines the font to use and the appropriate transliteration to display,
if the text is in a non-Latin script.
Use {{para|worklang}} to specify the language(s) that the <<collection>> itself is written in: see below.
<small>The parameter {{para|lang}} is a deprecated synonym for this parameter; please do not use. If this is used,
all numbered parameters move down by one.</small>]=]},
{{"text", "passage"}, [=[The text being quoted. Use boldface to highlight the term being defined, like this:
"{{code||<nowiki>'''humanities'''</nowiki>}}".]=]},
{"worklang", [=[A comma-separated list of language codes indicating the language(s) that the book is written in, if
different from the quoted text; for a list of the codes, see [[Wiktionary:List of languages]].]=]},
{"termlang", [=[A language code indicating the language of the term being illustrated, if different from the quoted
text; for a list of the codes, see [[Wiktionary:List of languages]]. If specified, this language is the one used
when adding the page to a category of the form <code>Category:LANGUAGE terms with quotations</code>; otherwise, the
first listed language specified using {{para|1}} is used. Only specify this parameter if the language of the
quotation is different from the term's language, e.g. a Middle English quotation used to illustrate a modern
English term or an English definition of a Vietnamese term in a Vietnamese-English dictionary.]=]},
{{"brackets", boolean = true}, [=[Surround a quotation with [[bracket]]s. 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.]=]},
{{"t", "translation"}, [=[If the quoted text is not in English, this parameter can be used to provide an English
[[translation]] of it.]=]},
{"lit", [=[If the quoted text is not in English and the translation supplied using {{para|t}} or
{{para|translation}} is idiomatic, this parameter can be used to provide a [[literal]] English [[translation]].]=]},
{"footer", [=[This parameter can be used to specify arbitrary text to insert in a separate line at the bottom, to
specify a comment, footnote, etc.]=]},
{{"norm", "normalization"}, [=[If the quoted text is written using nonstandard spelling, this parameter supplies
the normalized (standardized) version of the quoted text. This applies especially to older quotations. For example,
for Old Polish, this parameter could supply a version based on modern Polish spelling conventions, and for Russian
text prior to the 1917 spelling reform, this could supply the reformed spelling.]=]},
{{"tr", "transliteration"}, [=[If the quoted text uses a different {{w|writing system}} from the {{w|Latin
alphabet}} (the usual alphabet used in English), this parameter can be used to provide a [[transliteration]] of it
into the Latin alphabet. Note that many languages provide an automatic transliteration if this argument is not
specified. If a normalized version of the quoted text is supplied using {{para|norm}}, the transliteration will be
based on this version if possible (falling back to the actual quoted text if the transliteration of the normalized
text fails or if the normalization is supplied in Latin script and the original in a non-Latin script).]=]},
{"subst", [=[Phonetic substitutions to be applied to handle irregular transliterations in certain languages with a
non-Latin writing system and automatic transliteration (e.g. Russian and Yiddish). If specified, should be one or
more substitution expressions separated by commas, where each substitution expression is of the form
<code>FROM//TO</code> (<code>FROM/TO</code> is also accepted), where <code>FROM</code> specifies the source text in
the source script (e.g. Cyrillic or Hebrew) and <code>TO</code> is the corresponding replacement text, also in the
source script. The intent is to respell irregularly-pronounced words phonetically prior to transliteration, so that
the transliteration reflects the pronunciation rather than the spelling. The substitutions are applied in order.
Note that Lua patterns can be used in <code>FROM</code> and <code>TO</code> in lieu of literal text; see [[WT:LUA]].
See also {{temp|ux}} for an example of using {{para|subst}} (the usage is identical to that template). If
{{para|norm}} is used to provide a normalized version of the quoted text, the substitutions will also apply to this
version when transliterating it.]=]},
{{"ts", "transcription"}, [=[Phonetic transcription of the quoted text, if in a non-Latin script where the
transliteration is markedly different from the actual pronunciation (e.g. Akkadian, Ancient Egyption and Tibetan).
This should not be used merely to supply the IPA pronunciation of the text.]=]},
{"sc", [=[The script code of the quoted text, if not in the Latin script. See [[Wiktionary:Scripts]] for more
information. It is rarely necessary to specify this as the script is autodetected based on the quoted text.]=]},
{"normsc", [=[The script code of the normalized text in {{para|norm}}, if not in the Latin script. If unspecified,
and a value was given in {{para|sc}}, this value will be used to determine the script of the normalized text;
otherwise (or if {{para|normsc|auto}} was specified), the script of the normalized text will be autodetected based
on that text.]=]},
},
{"Date-related parameters",
{"date", [=[The date that the <<work>> was published. Use either {{para|year}} (and optionally {{para|month}}), or
{{para|date}}, not both. The value of {{para|date}} must be an actual date, with or without the day, rather than
arbitrary text. Various formats are allowed; it is recommended that you either write in YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g.
<code>2023-08-11</code>, or spell out the month, e.g. <code>2023 August 11</code> (permutations of the latter are
allowed, such as <code>August 11 2023</code> or <code>11 August 2023</code>). You can omit the day and the code
will attempt to display the date with only the month and year. Regardless of the input format, the output will be
displayed in the format <code>'''2023''' August 11</code>, or <code>'''2023''' August</code> if the day was
omitted.]=]},
{{"year", "month", useand = true}, [=[The year and (optionally) the month that the <<work>> was published. The values
of these parameters are not parsed, and arbitrary text can be given if necessary. If the year is preceded by
<code>c.</code>, e.g. <code>c. 1665</code>, it indicates that the publication year was {{glink|c.|circa}} (around)
the specified year; similarly <code>a.</code> indicates a publication year {{glink|a.|ante}} (before) the specified
year, and <code>p.</code> indicates a publication year {{glink|p.|post}} (after) the specified year. The year will
be displayed boldface unless there is boldface already in the value of the {{para|year}} parameter, and the month
(if given) will follow. If neither date nor year/month is given, the template displays the message
"(Can we [[:Category:Requests for date|date]] this quote?)" and adds the page to the category
[[:Category:Requests for date in LANG entries]], using the language specified in {{para|1}}. The message and
category addition can be suppressed using {{para|nodate|1}}, but it is recommended that you try to provide a date
or approximate date rather than do so. The category addition alone can be suppressed using {{para|nocat|1}}, but
this is not normally recommended.]=]},
{"start_date", [=[If the publication spanned a range of dates, place the starting date in {{para|start_date}} (or
{{para|start_year}}/{{para|start_month}}) and the ending date in {{para|date}} (or {{para|year}}/{{para|month}}).
The format of {{para|start_date}} is as for {{para|date}}. If the dates have the same year but different month and
day, the year will only be displayed once, and likewise if only the days differ. Use only one of {{para|start_date}}
or {{para|start_year}}/{{para|start_month}}, not both.]=]},
{{"start_year", "start_month", useand = true}, [=[Alternatively, specify a range by placing the start year and
month in {{para|start_year}} and (optionally) {{para|start_month}}. These can contain arbitrary text, as with
{{para|year}} and {{para|month}}. To indicate that publication is around, before or after a specified range, place
the appropriate indicator (<code>c.</code>, <code>a.</code> or <code>p.</code>) before the {{para|year}} value,
not before the {{para|start_year}} value.]=]},
{{"nodate", boolean = true}, [=[Specify {{para|nodate|1}} if the <<work>> is undated and no date (even approximate) can
reasonably be determined. This suppresses the maintenance line that is normally displayed if no date is given. Do
not use this just because you don't know the date; instead, leave out the date and let the maintenance line be
displayed and the page be added to the appropriate maintenance category, so that someone else can help.]=],},

the author(s) of the <<work>> quoted. Use {{para|last2}}/{{para|first2}}, {{para|last3}}/{{para|first3}}, etc. for
additional authors. It is preferred to use {{para|author}} over {{para|last}}/{{para|first}}, especially for names
of foreign language speakers, where it may not be easy to segment into first and last names. Note that these
parameters do not support inline modifiers and do not do automatic script detection; hence they can only be used
for Latin-script names.]=]},
{{"authorlink", list = true}, [=[The name of an [https://en.wikipedia.org English Wikipedia] article about the
author, which will be linked to the name(s) specified using {{para|author}} or {{para|last}}/{{para|first}}.
Additional articles can be linked to other authors' names using the parameters {{para|authorlink2}},

page numbers in the range. Under normal circumstances, {{para|page}} and {{para|pages}} are aliases of each other,
and the code autodetects whether to display singular "page" or plural "pages" before the supplied number or range.
The autodetection code displays the "pages" if it finds an en-dash (–), an em-dash (—), a hyphen between numbers,
or a comma followed by a space and between numbers (the space is necessary, so that numbers like <code>1,478</code>
with a thousands separator don't get treated as multiple pages). To suppress the autodetection (for example, some
books have hyphenated page numbers like <code>3-16</code>), precede the value with an exclamation point
(<code>!</code>); if this is given, the name of the parameter determines whether to display "page" or "pages".

similar to indicate what the new version is. (Under some circumstances, this parameter can be omitted; see below.)
# Specify the author(s) of the new version using {{para|2ndauthor}} (separating multiple authors with a semicolon)

above, e.g. {{para|title2}} for the title of the new version, {{para|page2}} for the page number of the new
version, etc.

{{para|translators2}}, {{para|mainauthor2}}, {{para|editor2}} or {{para|editors2}}). It then behaves as follows:
* If an author, editor and/or title are stated, it indicates "republished as".
* If only the place of publication, publisher and date of publication are stated, it indicates "republished".
* If an edition is stated, no text is displayed.
Use {{para|newversion}} to override this behaviour, for example, by indicating "quoted in" or "reprinted as".]=]},
