Parameters
The template takes the following parameters:
|1= or |song= – the name of the song quoted from.|2= 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).

|3=, |text=, or |passage= – The passage to be quoted.|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.
