Parameters

All parameters are optional, and may contain inline interwiki or external links as needed.

Parameter	Remarks
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 report is written in: see below.
speaker or author or last and first	The name of the legislator quoted. Use speaker, author, or last and first (for the first name, and middle names or initials), not all of them. Additional authors can be added using the parameters author2 to author5, or last2 and first2 to last5 and first5.
authorlink	The name of an English Wikipedia article about the legislator, which will be linked to the name(s) specified using author. Additional articles can be linked to other authors' names using the parameters authorlink2 to authorlink5. Do not add the prefix ":en:" or "w:". Alternatively, link each person's name directly, like this: "author=[[w:John Smith (Labour Party leader)|John Smith]]" or "author={{w|David Cameron}}".
editor or editors	The name(s) of the editor(s) of the legislative debate reports. Separate multiple names with semicolons.
quotee	The name of the person being quoted, if the whole quoted text is a quotation of someone other than the legislator.
debate or title	The title of the legislative debate.
url	The URL or web address of an external website containing the full text of the legislative debate. Do not link to any website that has content in breach of copyright.
archiveurl and archivedate or accessdate	Use archiveurl and archivedate (which must be used together) to indicate the URL or web address of a webpage on a website such as the Internet Archive or Perma.cc at which the webpage has been archived, and the date on which the webpage was archived. Alternatively, if the webpage cannot be archived, use accessdate to indicate when its URL was accessed. (If the webpage has been archived, it is unnecessary to use this parameter.)
report	The name of the legislative debate reports. If this is not stated, "parliamentary debates" is used as a default.
house	The name of the legislative body in which the debates took place.
location or city	The location where the legislative debate reports were 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 legislative debate reports. If more than one publisher is stated, separate the names with semicolons.
date or year (and month)	Mandatory: the date, or year (and month), of the legislative debate. Use either date, or year (and month), not both.
volume	The volume number of the legislative debate reports.
issue	The issue number of the legislative debate reports.
page or pages	The page number or range of page numbers of the legislative debate reports. 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(s) of the legislative debate reports referred to. The page number(s) will be linked to this webpage.
column or columns	The column number or range of column numbers of the legislative debate reports. Use column to indicate a single column, and columns to indicate a range of columns. For example, "columns=300–301" will display "columns 300–301". Use an en dash to separate the column numbers in the range.
columnurl	The URL or web address of the webpage containing the column(s) of the legislative debate reports referred to. The column number will be linked to this webpage.
isbn, issn, lccn, oclc, and/or id	The International Standard Book Number (ISBN), International Standard Serial Number (ISSN), Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN), or Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) number (which can be looked up at the WorldCat website) of the legislative debate reports. Use id for an identifier other than the ones listed above.
text or passage	The portion of the legislative debate being quoted. Highlight the term defined in bold in the quoted text like this: "'''politics'''".
worklang	A comma-separated list of language codes indicating the language(s) that the overall report 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).
indent	Instead of using wikitext outside the quotation template to indent it (for example, "#* {{quote-hansard|..."), you can use this parameter to specify the indent inside the template (for example, "{{quote-hansard|indent=#*|...")
