  • |book= – if a title is divided into books, the book number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
  • |chapter= and/or |chaptername= – if a title is divided into chapters, use |chapter= to specify the chapter number in uppercase Roman numerals, and |chaptername= the name of the chapter. If the chapter is called "Chapter the Last", specify |chapter=Last.
  • |act= and |scene= – if quoting from a play, use |act= to specify the act number in uppercase Roman numerals, and |scene= the scene number in lowercase Roman numerals.
  • |3= 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:
    • 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).
This parameter must be specified to have the template link to an online version of the work.
  • |4=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage 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.
