Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

|volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=I or |volume=II. If the parameter is omitted the template defaults to volume I, which will be incorrect for some diary entries.
|1= or |entrydate=; or (|month= and) |year= – the date of the diary entry, like this: |entrydate=21 October 1632. If only the month and year, or year alone, is known, use |month= and/or |year= to specify this information.

|2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) 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 indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the 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.
