– 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. If quoting from the introduction in volume IV by William Tuckniss, specify |chapter=Introduction
.|3=
or |page=
, or |pages=
– mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from, either in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals as the case may be. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
|pages=10–11
or |pages=x–xi
.|pageref=
to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).|column=
or |columns=
– the column number quoted from, either |column=1

.|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:Mayhew London Labour|volume=II|chapter=Of the Sewer-hunters|page=150|column=2|passage=The sewer-hunters were formerly, and indeed are still, called by the name of "Toshers," the articles which they pick up in the course of their wanderings along shore being known among themselves by the general term "'''tosh'''," a word more particularly applied by them to anything made of copper.|brackets=on}}
