This parameter may be omitted if the page number is specified.|part=– if a poem is divided into parts, specify the part number quoted from in words or uppercase Roman numerals, as the case may be.|stanza=or|stanzas=– the stanza number(s) quoted from in Arabic numerals.
- All parts of the work
|1=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:
