===Parameters===
The template takes the following parameters:

* {{para|subtitle}} – a subtitle quoted from, for example, {{para|subtitle|Postscript}}.
* {{para|stanza}} or {{para|stanzas}} – the [[stanza]] number(s) quoted from in Arabic numerals.
* {{para|1}} or {{para|page}}, or {{para|pages}} – '''mandatory''': 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: {{para|pages|10–11}}.
** You must also use {{para|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 determine the name of the poem quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
* {{para|2}}, {{para|text}}, or {{para|passage}} – the passage to be quoted.
* {{para|footer}} – a comment on the passage quoted.
* {{para|brackets}} – use {{para|brackets|on}} to surround a quotation with [[bracket]]s. 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.

===Examples===
* '''Wikitext''':
** {{temp|RQ:Auden About the House|2=page=34|3=passage=<nowiki>[A]udible here and there / in the half-dark, members of an avian orchestra / are already softly '''noodling''', limbering up for / an overture at sunrise, {{...}}</nowiki>}}; or
