Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=XXVIII.
• |chapter= – if a title is divided into chapters, use this parameter to specify the name of the chapter, or the chapter number in uppercase Roman numerals followed by the name of the chapter in parentheses.
• |section= – a section of a title quoted from.
• |2= 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=10–11 or |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).

You must specify this information to have the template determine the title quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

• |title= – if the template cannot determine the title quoted from if the page number is specified, use this parameter to specify the title.
• |act=, and |scene= or |tableau= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from a dramatic work in volume XXIII, use |act= to specify the act number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, and |scene= or |tableau= to specify the scene or tableau number (as the case may be) in lowercase Roman numerals.
• |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.
