Parameters

All parameters are optional except for those marked "Mandatory", 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 video game is in: see below.
`author` or `developer` or `last` and `first`	The author or game developer's name. Use either `author` (or `developer`), or `last` and `first`, not both. 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 author or developer, which will be linked to the author's name. 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 the author's name directly, like this: "`author=[[w:Cybersoft (video game company)\|Cybersoft]]`" or "`author={{w\|Bungie}}`".
`coauthors`	The names of one or more coauthors. If there is more than one, separate the names with semicolons.
`quotee`	The name of the person being quoted, if the whole passage quoted is a quotation of someone other than the author.
`title`	Mandatory: the title of the video game.
`location`	The location(s) where the video game 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 video game. If more than one publisher is stated, separate the names with semicolons.
`OCLC` or `id`	The Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) number (which can be looked up at the WorldCat website) of the video game. Use `id` for an identifier other than the OCLC number.
`date` or (`month` and) `year`	Mandatory: the date, or (month and) year, of publication of the video game.
`year_published`	If `year` is used to state the year when the original version of the video game was published, `year_published` can be used to state the year in which the version quoted from was published, for example, "`\|year=2005\|year_published=2015`".
`version`	The version of the video game quoted.
`system`	The computing platform or operating system on which the video game quoted is designed to run.
`scene`	The scene in the video game in which the passage quoted is encountered.
`level`	The level (experience point) at, or area in, which the passage quoted is encountered.
`text` or `passage`	A passage from the video game that you wish to quote. Highlight the term defined in bold in the quoted text like this: "`'''Thalia'''`".
`worklang`	A comma-separated list of language codes indicating the language(s) that the overall video game 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-video game\|...`"), you can use this parameter to specify the indent inside the template (for example, "`{{quote-video game\|indent=#*\|...`")
