If a quotation template for a specific work exists (for example, {{RQ:Poe Raven}}) use that instead of this template.

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1= or |volume=mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=I or |volume=II.
  • |2=, |chapter=, or |title=mandatory: the name of the chapter or title of the work quoted from. If the parameter is given the value indicated in the first column of the following table, the template will display what is indicated in the second column:
The Works of the Late Edgar Allan Poe
Parameter value Result First page number

For help with linking other English Wikipedia articles to the template and adding publication dates, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".
  • |3= or |page=; or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting from one of the biographical notices in volume I, specify the page number(s) in lowercase Roman numerals. 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 or |pages=x–xi.
    • 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).
This parameter must be specified to have the template determine, in some cases, the part of the work quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.
  • |4=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage 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.
