This template can be used to indicate quotations from P. G. Wodehouse's work Something New (1st edition, 1915), which was published in the UK as Something Fresh (13th UK edition, 1931); the 1st UK edition (London: Methuen & Co., 1915; →OCLC) is not currently available online. There are minor differences between the UK and US editions. The template can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the HathiTrust Digital Library and the Internet Archive:

• 1st edition (1915).
• 13th UK edition (1931).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |edition= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 13th UK edition, specify |edition=UK.
• |1= or |chapter= – the chapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |section= – some chapters are divided into sections. Use this parameter to specify the section number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |2= 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=10–11.
  • 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 link to the online version of the work.

• |3=, |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.
