As the chapters marked with an asterisk (*) 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=GizZ6XEirFEC&pg=PP11, specify |page=11. (The other chapters comprising the preliminary matter are also unpaginated, but the template is able to determine the URL.)

• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. 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.
  • 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 the online version of the work.

As indicated above, the main part of the work is notionally divided into four sections:

• In section 1 (starting with the proeme), the pages are numbered 1–39.
• In section 2 (starting with the oration for France), the pages are numbered 37–68.
• In section 3 (starting with the oration for Spain), the pages are numbered 1–68.
• In section 4 (starting with the oration for Poland), the pages are numbered 1–51.

The name of the chapter must be specified to enable the template to link to the correct webpage.

• |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.
