The template takes the following parameters:
|edition=
– mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 3rd edition (1751), specify |edition=3rd
. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1749).|1=
or |volume=
– mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I
to |volume=IV
.|2=
or |chapter=
– the name of the chapter quoted from.|3=
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 indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).|4=
, |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.{{RQ:Lesage Smollett Gil Blas|edition=3rd|volume=III|chapter=Gil Blas Meets His Dear Friend Fabricius at Court:{{nb...|Their Mutual Joy; They Repair Together to a Certain Place, vvhere a Curious Conversation Happens betvveen Them}}|page=87|passage=Thy ſonnet is a piece of '''verboſe''' fuſtian; and thy preface is compoſed of far-fetch'd expreſſions, vvords that have not the publick ſtamp, perplexed phraſes; in a vvord, thy ſtile is quite peculiar to thyſelf; {{...}}}}
