|subchapter= – a subchapter quoted from.
|part= – if a title is divided into parts, the part number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, followed by the name of the part in parentheses.
|chapter= and |chaptername= – if a title is divided into chapters, use |chapter= to specify the chapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, and |chaptername= the name of the chapter.
|section= – a section number quoted from.
|date=, or (|month= and) |year= – if a title is separately dated and the template does not indicate the date, use |date= to specify it in the format 4 August 1680 or August 4, 1680. The date will be converted from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. If only the month and year, or year alone, of the title is known, use |month= and/or |year= to specify this information.
|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. 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 or |pages=x–xi.
- You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked 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.

Volume I:
In the main part of the work the pagination restarts from 1.

Volume III:
Page 309 is misprinted as 409; specify it as |page=309.

|column= or |columns= – the column number(s) quoted from, either |column=1 or |column=2. If quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or separate the column numbers with an en dash, like this: |columns=1–2.
|4=, |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.
