| Parameter value | Result |
|---|---|

- As the chapters marked with an asterisk (*) are unpaginated, use
|1=or|page=to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL ishttps://books.google.com/books?id=Tu9oAAAAcAAJ&pg=PP9, specify|page=9. (The other chapters are also unpaginated, but the template is able to determine the URL.)
|1=or|page=, or|pages=– mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:- Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this:
|pages=10–11. - You must also use
|pageref=to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
- Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this:
- This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the act number (I–V) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
|act=– mandatory in some cases: in most cases, if the page number is specified the template can determine the act number quoted from. It is unable to do so if page 29 or 43 is specified, in which case the act number must be specified in uppercase Roman numerals, like this:|act=III.
| Act I pages 1–8 |
Act II pages 9–18 |
Act III pages 19–29 |
Act IV pages 29–43 |
Act V pages 43–55 |
|scene=– the scene number of the play quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals. As these are not clearly indicated in the work, look them up in a modern version of the work.|2=,|text=, or|passage=– the passage to be quoted.|footer=– a comment on the passage quoted.|brackets=– use|brackets=onto 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.
