  • |edition=mandatory: if quoting from the 2nd edition (1903), specify |edition=2nd.
  • |version=mandatory: if quoting from the English Wikisource version, specify |version=WS or |version=Wikisource.

You must specify this information to have the template link to the online version of the work.
Internet Archive versions
  • |edition=mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 2nd edition (1903), specify |edition=2nd.
  • |1= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:

All versions
  • |2=, |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.
