This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from a collection of Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning's works entitled New Poems (1st edition, 1914). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work (contents) at the Internet Archive.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |author= – if quoting from a part of the work by one of the authors indicated in the second column of the following table, give this parameter the value indicated in the first column:

• |canto= and/or |stanza= – the canto and/or stanza number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11 or |pages=x–xi.
  • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the chapter or poem quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

• |poem= – in most cases, if the page number is specified the template can determine the name of the poem quoted from. However, if quoting from "Dialogue between Father and Daughter" on page 72, specify |poem=Dialogue.
• |year= – use this parameter to specify the year of a part of the work quoted from if the template is not indicating it correctly.
• |2=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
• |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.
