Parameter	Description
1	A comma-separated list of language codes indicating the language(s) of the quoted text; for a list of the codes, see Wiktionary:List of languages. If the language is other than English, the template will indicate this fact by displaying "(in [language])" (for one language), or "(in [language] and [language])" (for two languages), or "(in [language], [language] ... and [language])" (for three or more languages). The entry page will also be added to a category in the form "Category:[Language] terms with quotations" for the first listed language (unless termlang is specified, in which case that language is used for the category, or nocat is specified, in which case the page will not be added to any category). The first listed language also determines the font to use and the appropriate transliteration to display, if the text is in a non-Latin script. Use |worklang= to specify the language(s) that the overall song is written in: see below.
lyricist	The person(s) who wrote the lyrics of the song. The word "(lyrics)" is displayed after the name(s).
composer	The person(s) who composed the music of the song. The word "(music)" is displayed after the name(s).
author (and authorlabel)	The person(s) who wrote the lyrics and composed the music of the song. The phrase "(lyrics and music)" is displayed after the name(s). To suppress the phrase, use "authorlabel=no".
authorlink	The name of an English Wikipedia article about the person(s) who wrote the lyrics and composed the music of the song, which will be linked to the name(s) specified using author. (Alternatively, link each person's name directly, like this: "author=[[w:John Lodge (musician)|John Lodge]]" or "author={{w|Woody Guthrie}}".)
title	Mandatory: the title of the song.
trans-title	If the title of the song is not in English, this parameter can be used to provide an English translation of the title.
url	The URL or web address of a relevant external website, such as a website containing a score of the song. Add such a link only if the score is no longer copyrighted – do not link to a website that has content in breach of copyright.
archiveurl and archivedate	The URL or web address of a webpage on a website such as the Internet Archive or Perma.cc at which the webpage has been archived, and the date on which the webpage was archived. Both archiveurl and archivedate must be used together.
album	The title of the album in which the song first appeared.
trans-album	If the title of the album is not in English, this parameter can be used to provide an English translation of the name.
format	The format in which the song was released, for example, "[[w:Compact Cassette|cassette]]", "[[w:compact disc|CD]]", "[[w:extended play|EP record]]", "[[w:LP record|LP record]]", "[[w:gramophone record|SP record]]".
location	The location(s) where the song or album was published. If more than one location is stated, separate the locations with semicolons, like this: "London; New York, N.Y.".
publisher	The name of one or more publishers of the song or album. If more than one publisher is stated, separate the names with semicolons.
year or date	The year or date that the song was released. Use either year or date, not both.
year_published	If year is used to state the year when the original version of the song was published, year_published can be used to state the year in which the version quoted from was published, for example, "|year=1965|year_published=2005".
oclc and/or id	The Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) number of the song or album, which can be looked up at the WorldCat website. Use id for an identifier other than an OCLC number.
artist	The artist (an individual or ensemble) who performed the song, if different from the lyricist(s) and/or composer(s).
note	Brief notes about the song.
page or pages	The page number or range of page numbers of a score, etc., referred to. Use page to indicate a single page, and pages to indicate a range of pages. For example, "pages=1–2" will display "pages 1–2". Use an en dash to separate the page numbers in the range.
pageurl	The URL or web address of the webpage containing the page of the score, etc., referred to. The page number(s) will be linked to this webpage.
text or passage	The lyrics of the song being quoted. Highlight the term defined in bold in the quoted text like this: "'''music'''".
worklang	A comma-separated list of language codes indicating the language(s) that the overall song is written in, if different from the quoted text; for a list of the codes, see Wiktionary:List of languages.
termlang	A language code indicating the language of the term being illustrated, if different from the quoted text; for a list of the codes, see Wiktionary:List of languages. If specified, this language is the one used when adding the page to a category of the form "Category:[Language] terms with quotations"; otherwise, the first listed language specified using 1 is used. Only specify this parameter if the language of the quotation is different from the term's language, e.g. a Middle English quotation used to illustrate a modern English term or an English definition of a Vietnamese term in a Vietnamese-English dictionary.
nocat	Use nocat=y or nocat=1 or nocat=on to suppress adding the page to a category of the form "Category:[Language] terms with quotations". This should not normally be done.
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.
t or translation	If the quoted text is not in English, this parameter can be used to provide an English translation of it.
lit	If the quoted text is not in English and the translation supplied using t or translation is idiomatic, this parameter can be used to provide a literal English translation.
footer	This parameter can be used to specify arbitrary text to insert in a separate line at the bottom, to specify a comment, footnote, etc.
tr or transliteration	If the quoted text uses a different writing system from the Latin alphabet (the usual alphabet used in English), this parameter can be used to provide a transliteration of it into the Latin alphabet. Note that many languages provide an automatic transliteration if this argument is not specified.
subst	Phonetic substitutions to be applied to handle irregular transliterations in certain languages with a non-Latin writing system and automatic transliteration (e.g. Russian and Yiddish). If specified, should be one or more substitution expressions separated by commas, where each substitution expression is of the form FROM//TO (FROM/TO is also accepted), where FROM specifies the source text in the source script (e.g. Cyrillic or Hebrew) and TO is the corresponding replacement text, also in the source script. The intent is to respell irregularly-pronounced words phonetically prior to transliteration, so that the transliteration reflects the pronunciation rather than the spelling. The substitutions are applied in order. Note that Lua patterns can be used in FROM and TO in lieu of literal text; see WT:LUA. See also {{ux}} for an example of using subst (the usage is identical to that template).
