Parameters[edit]
The template takes the following parameters:
|edition=– mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1st American edition, specify|edition=US. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st (British) edition (1917).|part=and|partname=– if a short story is divided into parts, use|part=to specify the part number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, and|partname=the name of the part.|1=or|page=, or|pages=– mandatory: the page or range of pages 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. - 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:

|2=,|text=, or|passage=– the passage to be quoted.|footer=– a comment on the passage quoted.|brackets=– use|brackets=onto surround a quotation with brackets.
