This is a simple template used to identify and correctly format interpolations in quoted material.  These interpolations add to or replace portions of a quote (frequently pronouns, or some other unclear referent) to make clear to readers information that is supplied by the context of the quote.  For instance, the original quote might be:

{{block indent|1="It's a complete trainwreck of a film.  The director can't even come close to matching the genius of his obvious inspiration, Hitchcock."}}

With interpolations, the quote could be:

{{block indent|1="[''Strangers on a Segway'' is] a complete trainwreck of a film.  [Alan Smithee] can't even come close to matching the genius of his obvious inspiration, [Alfred] Hitchcock."}}

The same effect could be achieved without interpolation by breaking up the quote into pieces, for instance:

{{block indent|1=Critic Bodger Leebert called ''Strangers on a Segway'' a "complete trainwreck of a film", and said that Alan Smithee "can't even come close to matching the genius of his obvious inspiration, Hitchcock", referring to [[Alfred Hitchcock]].}}

However, in many cases interpolation may be preferable as a way of clarifying ambiguous referents, since it keeps the flow of the quote intact.
