  • |part= – if the poem is divided into parts, the part number quoted from in Arabic numerals. (If the poem "The Highwayman" is quoted from, the template can determine whether part 1 or 2 is referred to if the page number is specified, except if page 48 is the relevant page. In that case the part number must be specified.)
  • |stanza= – the stanza number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page or range of pages quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
    • Separate the first and last page numbers of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=110–111.

  • |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted from the work.
  • |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets.
