Wiki links [[]] are fine in any of the Infobox fields.
Include the HTML comments before and following the template; they help inexperienced editors.
Please spend some time at the WikiProject Poetry and its talk page to find about standards on presenting names and other data.
In the "language" field, link to the article that is actually about the language; for example, use [[[[French language]]|French]], not [[French]]
The preceded_by and followed_by fields both apply to poems in a series and to sequels. They should not connect separate poems chronologically.
Separate multiple values (e.g. two translators) using {{Plainlist}} or {{Flatlist}}
