|subchapter= or |subtitle= – the name of a subchapter or subtitle quoted from.
|act= and |scene= – if quoting from a play, the act number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, and the scene number quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals.
|footnote= – a footnote symbol quoted from, like this: |footnote=*.
|2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) of the work in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. If using |pages= to quote a range of pages, note the following:
- Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11 or |pages=x–xi.
- 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 to have the template link to an online version of the work.

|3=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
|footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
|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.
