Parameters
[edit]The template takes the following parameters:

If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1924).|1=or|page=, or|pages=– mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. 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=10–11or|pages=x–xi. - 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).

|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.
