Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1=, |chapter=, or |poem= – mandatory: the name of the "chapter" or poem quoted from.
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: 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=110–111.
    • 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= – a passage to be quoted from the work.
  • |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.
  • |sco= – the work contains both English and Scots poems, and the template assumes that an English quotation is being given. To indicate that the quotation is in Scots, specify |sco=1 or |sco=yes.
