  • |subchapter= – the name of a subchapter quoted from.
  • |year= – the template will try to determine the year when a poem was written or published based on its name, but it may be unable to do so as some poems have the same name (for example, "Lines" or "Sonnet"). In such cases, use this parameter to specify the year.

For help with linking a Wikipedia article to the template or providing the year when a poem was written or published, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".

  • |fragment= or |part= – if a poem is divided into fragments or parts, use one of these parameters to specify the fragment or part quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, or as stated in the work (see the example below).
  • |scene= – if quoting from a play (for example, "Charles the First"), use this parameter to specify the scene number in lowercase Roman numerals.
  • |stanza= or |stanzas= – the stanza number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
  • |3= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory: the page or range of pages quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
    • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
    • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.
  • |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.
