Parameters
[edit]The template takes the following parameters:
|1=or|volume=– mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from|volume=Ito|volume=III.|canto=– if quoting from the main part of the work, the canto number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.|sonnet=– if quoting from one of Longfellow's sonnets at the start of each volume, specify|sonnet=1or|sonnet=yes. As the sonnets are unpaginated, use|2=or|page=to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL ishttps://archive.org/details/divinecomedyofda671dant/page/n18/mode/1up, specify|page=18.|column=or|columns=– some parts of the work are divided into columns. Use this parameter to specify the column number quoted from in Arabic numerals, either|column=1or|column=2. If quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or separate the numbers with an en dash, like this:|columns=1–2.|line=or|lines=– if quoting from the main part of the work, the line number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of numbers, separate the numbers with an en dash.|2=or|page=, or|pages=– mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) to be quoted from. When quoting 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. - 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).
- Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this:

|3=,|text=, or|passage=– a passage to be quoted from the work.|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.
