 * For help with linking other Wikipedia articles or adding publication dates to the template, leave a message on the talk page or at "Grease pit".


 * section – the section name of the poem.
 * 2 or page, or pages – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) to be quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
 * Separate the first and last page numbers of the range with an en dash, like this: 10–11.
 * 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).
 * You must specify this information to have the template link to the online version of the work.


 * 3, text, or passage – a passage to be quoted from the work.
 * 4, t, or translation – a translation of the passage quoted into contemporary English.
 * footer – a comment about the passage quoted.
 * lang – specify la to quote from the Latin section of the work.
 * brackets – use 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.
