For help with linking other Wikipedia articles to the template and/or indicating the date when poems were first written or published, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".
  • |part= – if quoting from the poem "The Saga of King Olaf", use this parameter to specify the part number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals and the name of the part, like this: |part=I. The Challenge of Thor.
  • |stanza= – the stanza number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
  • |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=110–111.
    • 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).
You must specify this information to have the template link to the online version of the work.
  • |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted from the work.
  • |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.
