Usage

This template can be used to provide a quotation from the English Wikipedia. However, please note that according to Wiktionary's attestation standards in its criteria for inclusion, Wikipedia and other Wikimedia sites should not be used as sources for quotations. Thus, this template should be used with caution – it should not be used to indicate quotations in dictionary entries, but can be used on the "Citations:" pages of terms that have not yet been created (for example, on "Citations:foo" where "foo" is still non-existent) to gather evidence for the potential future inclusion of those terms in the dictionary.

At the moment, the template does not link to other language Wikipedias.

Parameters

All parameters are optional except those marked "Mandatory".

Parameter	Remarks
article	Mandatory: the full name of the Wikipedia article quoted. If the article name includes a qualifier in parentheses (for example, "John Smith (explorer)"), the qualifier must be added too.
revision	To link to a specific revision of a Wikipedia article, indicate the revision number using this parameter. For example, to link to the revision of the article "John Smith (explorer)" with the URL "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Smith_%28explorer%29&oldid=698753285", type "revision=698753285".
date or year	Mandatory: the date or year of the revision of the Wikipedia article quoted. Use either date or year, not both.
passage	Mandatory: the portion of the Wikipedia article being quoted. Highlight the term defined in bold in the passage quoted like this: "'''Wiktionary'''".
translation	If the passage quoted is not in English, this parameter can be used to provide an English translation of it.
transliteration	If the passage quoted 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.
lang or language	A code indicating the language of the quotation; for a list of the codes, see Wiktionary:List of languages. The entry page will be added to a category in the form "Category:[Language] terms with quotations".
indent	Instead of using wikitext outside the quotation template to indent it (for example, "#* {{quote-wikipedia|..."), you can use this parameter to specify the indent inside the template (for example, "{{quote-wikipedia|indent=#*|...")
