Parameters
The template takes the following parameters:
|format=– mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 2008 Project Gutenberg Australia version of the work, specify|format=PGA. If this parameter is omitted, the template links to the 1962 version.|1=or|chapter=– the chapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals. If quoting from the 1962 version, this parameter may be omitted if the page number is specified.|2=or|page=, or|pages=– mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1962 version, the page number(s) quoted from. 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:
|pages=10–11. - You must also use
|pageref=to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
- Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this:

|3=,|text=, or|passage=– the passage to be quoted.|footer=– a comment on the passage quoted.|brackets=– use|brackets=onto 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.
