For help with adding other works to the template and indicating their publication dates, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".

|section= – the section of the work quoted from.
|date=, or (|month= and) |year= – if the work is dated, use |date= to specify it in the format 25 December 1622 or December 25, 1622. The date will be converted from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. If only the month and year, or year alone, of the work is known, use |month= and/or |year= to specify this information. If the date is not clearly indicated, you may be able to find it at the Christian Classics Ethereal Library or elsewhere online.
|3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting from the editor's preface or "Life of Dr. Donne" in volume I, specify the page number(s) in lowercase Roman numerals. 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 |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).

You must specify this information 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.
