—Someone, Source
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.
