    • If quoting from the main part of the work, use |1= or |chapter= to specify the chapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, and/or |chaptername= the name of the chapter.

As the preface is unpaginated, use |2= 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/bim_eighteenth-century_works-english-the-wo_josephus-flavius_1702/page/n4/mode/1up, specify |page=2.
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory: the page number(s) to be 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).
You must specify this information to have the template determine the title, and in some cases the part of the title, quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
  • From discourse I the pagination starts from 1, and then in the main part of the work starts from 1 again.
  • In "Of the Jewish Antiquities", page numbers 131–148 and 555–584 are not used; the text is unaffected
  • Between "Of the Jewish Antiquities" and "Of the Wars of the Jews", page numbers 597–744 are not used; the text is unaffected.
  • In "Of the Wars of the Jews", after page 979 to the end of the title the pagination is erratic. Specify the page number as indicated in the following table:
Incorrect page number Correct page number Incorrect page number Correct page number Incorrect page number Correct page number
979A 983 983 988A
980 980 984 984 989

  • |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.
