|act=and|scene=– if quoting a play, use these parameters to specify the act and scene numbers in uppercase and lowercase Roman numerals respectively, like this:|act=I,|scene=i.|part=– use this parameter to indicate a part of a work quoted from other than the main body of a play. For specific works indicated in the first column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the second column:
| Work | Parameter value | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Cynthia's Revels | Dedication | To the Speciall Fountaine of Manners: The Court. |
| Induction | Induction. By Three of the Children. | |
| Prologue | Prologue. | |
| Epilogue | The Epilogue. | |
| The Magnetic Lady | Induction | The Induction; or, Chorus. |
| Epilogue | Chorus Changed into an Epilogue: To the King. |
|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 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:
- You must specify this information to have the template link to an online version of the work.
|column=or|columns=– the text in the 2nd and 3rd folios is divided into two columns. Use this parameter to specify if column 1 or 2 is quoted from. When quoting from both columns, either omit the parameter or separate the column numbers with an en dash, like this:|columns=1–2.|3=,|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.
