It is unnecessary to include braces, quotation marks or other wiki-markup in the template. The |comment= field does allow the use of wiki-markup at the contributor's discretion.

• quote - is the quote verbiage, no quotation marks needed.
• quoted - is name of the person who is being quoted, it will automatically Wikilink.
• omit quoted - Remove the linked quoted person. Use this in the rare case there is not an article on the individual on WP, set it to yes. If this is the case, use the |comment= field for the quoted person's name.
• comment - A brief, non-linked comment after the quoted individual's name.
• dates - The author's date of birth and death, no parenthesis needed.
• source - The work the quote is coming from, it will automatically Wikilink.
• section - is the section in the work the quote appears.
• archive - Using this field with a value of no will remove the More selected quotes link in the lower left corner.

The following example:

{{Selected quote
| quote  = Good wine is a good familiar creature if it be well used.
| quoted = William Shakespeare
| dates  = 1564-1616
| comment = Dead English guy
| source = Othello
| section = II. iii. (315)
}}
