– the title of the "chapter" or most specific portion (partition, section, member, or subsection) quoted from. If quoting from "Democritus Iunior to the Reader", specify |chapter=To the Reader
.|5=
or |page=
, or |pages=
– mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
|pages=10–11
.|pageref=
to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears)."Democritus Iunior to the Reader" and the main part of the work are both paginated starting from page 1. If quoting from the former, specify
|chapter=To the Reader

, specify |page=8
