|version=
– mandatory: if quoting from the Winchester Manuscript, specify|version=WM

; if|verso=
is omitted, the template indicates that a recto (right-hand) page is quoted. If quoting a range of folios, for example, "folios 449, verso – 450, recto", note the following:- Use
|folio=
and|verso=
to specify the folio at the start of the range, and|folioend=
and|versoend=
(if required) to specify the folio at the end of the range. - In addition, use
|folioref=
and|versoref=
to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears). (If quoting a recto page, omit|versoend=
and|versoref=
.)
