The template takes the following parameters:

• |chapter= or |poem= – the name of the "chapter" or poem quoted from. This parameter may be omitted if quoting from "Nimphidia", "The Quest of Cynthia", or "The Shepheards Sirena".

• |year= – if the template is unable to determine the year of publication of a poem, use this parameter to specify it.
• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: 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).

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

• |line= or |lines= – the line number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of line numbers, separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash.
• |2=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted from the work.
• |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.
