This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Ben Jonson's work News from the New World Discovered in the Moon (first performed 1620), which was first published in The Works of Benjamin Jonson (2nd folio, 1640–1641). The template can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |part= – the name of a part of the work, for example |part=I. Song..
• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=39–40.
  • You must also use |pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

You must specify this information to have the template link to the online version of the work.

• |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.
