Parameters
The template takes the following parameters:


 * night – mandatory in some cases: the work is divided into nine parts called "nights". If quoting from the 1st edition of the work, specify the part quoted from in Arabic numerals, like this: 4.
 * 1 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: 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 determine, in the 1750 edition, the part of the work (Night the First – Night the Ninth) quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.


 * line or lines – the line number(s) quoted from. These do not appear in the editions of the work mentioned above, but may be obtained from other versions of the work.
 * 2, text, or passage – a passage quoted from the work.
 * 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.
