—Someone, Source

The following template description is not displayed when the template is inserted in an article.

Goal

This template adds a block quotation to an article page.

This is easier to type and more wiki-like than the equivalent HTML blockquote tags, and has additional pre-formatted attribution and source parameters.

Usage

This template can be used with both unnamed, numbered and named parameters.

Usage with unnamed parameters

{{quote|text|sign|source}}

Usage with numbered parameters

{{quote|1=|2=|3=}}

Usage with named parameters

{{quote|text=|sign=|source=}}

Parameters

All parameters are optional.

1, text

Text to be quoted. Defaults to Lorem ipsum...

2, sign

Name or nickname of person quoted. Preferably with a link to a user page. Defaults to Someone.

3, source

The source to the text quoted, preferably using the {{cite web}} template or an URL. Defaults to Source.

Known issues

When using the template with unnamed parameters, an equal sign (=) will break the template. The workaround is to either use <nowiki>=</nowiki> or the {{=}} template.
