If quoting from a chapter that is unpaginated, use |3= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/worksofmralexand02pope/page/n12/mode/1up, specify |page=12. For help with adding links to other Wikipedia articles, leave a message on the template talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".
  • |book= or |canto= – if applicable, the book or canto number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
  • |3= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page or range of pages quoted from. 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).
This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online versions of the work.

In volume II, the pagination is irregular; the text is unaffected:

  • "Ethic Epistles, the Second Book" begins on page 47. In addition, Epistle III begins on page 1, and Epistles IV–VII begin on page 39.
  • "Satires of Horace Imitated" and "Satires of Dr. John Donne" begin on page 1.
  • "Epitaphs" begin on page 1.
  • In "The Dunciad", the subtitles "A Letter to the Publisher" and "Arguments to the Books" begin on page 3, then the poem itself restarts on page 1.
  • |line= or |lines= – the line number(s) of the passage quoted.
  • |4=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
  • |footer= – a comment about 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.
