As the epistle dedicatory, and the subchapters mentioned below, are unpaginated, use |2= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=YgFEAQAAMAAJ&pg=PP7, specify |page=7. For help with adding other chapters or poems to the template, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".
  • |act= and |scene= – if quoting from "The Sophy", the act number in uppercase Roman numerals and the scene number in lowercase Roman numerals.
  • |stanza= – the stanza number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
  • |subchapter= – the name of a subchapter quoted from; specifically:
    • In "Cato Major", |subchapter=To the Reader and |subchapter=The Preface.
    • In "The Sophy", |subchapter=Prologue and |subchapter=Epilogue.
  • |2= 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 numbers 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 determine, in some cases, the part of a title quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.
  • In the 1st edition (1668) in "The Sophy":
    • The pagination restarts from 1.
    • Page numbers 43 and 44 are reused; the text is unaffected. If quoting from the second set, specify them as |page=43A and |page=44A.
  • In the 4th edition (1703), in "Cato Major" and "The Sophy" the pagination restarts from 1.
  • |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.
