If quoting from volume I, if the page number is specified the template can determine the name of the play quoted from.

• |act= – mandatory: the act number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |scene= – if a play is divided into scenes, the scene number quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals.
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: 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 an the online version of the work.

In volumes II–V, the pagination starts from 1 in each play.

• |4=, |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.
