For help with linking other Wikipedia articles to the template or adding the date when a work was first composed or published, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".

• |chapter= or |chaptername= –
  • If a work is divided into numbered chapters, use |chapter= to specify the chapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, followed by the name of the chapter in parentheses.
  • If a chapter is unnumbered, use |chaptername= to specify its name.
• |letter= – if quoting from a numbered letter, the letter number in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |stanza= or |section= – if the work is subdivided into stanzas or sections, the stanza number (in uppercase Roman numerals) or section number quoted from.
• |date= – if a work has a specific date (for example, one of the letters in volume XIV), use this parameter to specify the date according to the Julian calendar like this: |date=2 September 1710. The template will convert the date to one according to the Gregorian calendar.
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page or range of pages quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number 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 an online version of the work.

• |4=, |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.
