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:

- This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the chapter quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work. Below is a list of chapters.
|column=or|columns=– if quoting from the serialized edition, the column number(s) quoted from, either|column=1or|column=2. If quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or separate the column numbers with an en dash, like this:|columns=1–2.|2=,|text=, or|passage=– the passage to be quoted.|brackets=– use|brackets=onto surround a quotation with brackets.
