For help with adding other titles or publication dates to this template, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit". If quoting from an unnumbered page, 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=kthdAAAAcAAJ&pg=PP9 specify |page=9; and if it is https://books.google.com/books?id=dHZnAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA300-IA1 specify |page=300-IA1.

• |date= – if a letter or poem is dated, use this parameter to specify the date. The template will convert it from a date in the Julian calendar to one in the Gregorian calendar.
• |stanza= – the stanza number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |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.

• |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be 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.
