* | * Provide a template that allows wiki contributors to veto the addition of quotes to "their" articles (provided they are actively maintained/updated) | ||
* | * Use a different style/formatting | ||
* | * Use a separate place for quotes (talk page) | ||
* | * Use a standard section/paragraph for related discussions | ||
* | * Use a separate namespace for quote-collections ? | ||

=== Template for vetoing the adding of quotes === | |||
* Could be something, but it would be better if more time was spent so that the article would be read and the quotes would be added if and where they would be needed. —[[User:Johan G|Johan G]] ([[User_talk:Johan_G|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Johan_G|contribs]]) 17:33, 21 March 2016 (EDT) | |||
=== Using a different style === | |||
* Could maybe possibly be put in a collapsible template only showing a short summary. Will still be briefly shown when the page is loaded though. —[[User:Johan G|Johan G]] ([[User_talk:Johan_G|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Johan_G|contribs]]) 17:33, 21 March 2016 (EDT) | |||
=== Putting the quotes on the talk page === | |||
* Probably a good idea, as they often can be considered as suggestions for improvement of the article one way or another. —[[User:Johan G|Johan G]] ([[User_talk:Johan_G|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Johan_G|contribs]]) 17:33, 21 March 2016 (EDT) | |||
=== Using a standard section for quotes === | |||
* I think it would be a good guideline, though probably on the talk page unless needed to illustrate a point. —[[User:Johan G|Johan G]] ([[User_talk:Johan_G|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Johan_G|contribs]]) 17:33, 21 March 2016 (EDT) | |||
=== Using a separate namespace for quotes === | |||
* No, no, no. Absolutely no. This could be done in two ways, as a prefix but still in the main namespace (what sometimes on English Wikipedia is called a ''user maintained namespace''), or as an actual namespace. I think this would be messy and inelegant either way. The quotes intended as pints to add to an article should be more closely attached to the article. Additionally, using a separate namespace makes things like some of the [[:Category:Namespace templates|namespace templates]] break, and further, make these pages not found unless opting to search those namespaces as well. —[[User:Johan G|Johan G]] ([[User_talk:Johan_G|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Johan_G|contribs]]) 17:33, 21 March 2016 (EDT) | |||
