 * Separate the first and last pages 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.


 * line or lines – the line number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of line numbers, separate the first and last numbers of the range with an en dash.


 * All versions
 * sonnet or title – mandatory:
 * If quoting from Amoretti, use sonnet to specify the sonnet number in uppercase Roman numerals, from I to LXXXIX.

 * 2, text, or passage – the passage to be quoted.
 * 3, t, or translation – a translation of the passage quoted into contemporary English.
 * footer – a comment on the passage quoted.
 * 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.
