Template documentationUsage
{{Quote}} adds a block quotation to an article page.
This is easier to type and more wiki-like than the equivalent HTML <blockquote>...</blockquote> tags, and has additional pre-formatted attribution and source parameters.
Note: Block quotes do not normally contain quotation marks.
Synopsis
- Unnamed (positional) parameters
{{quote|phrase|person|source}}
This markup will fail if any parameter contains an equals sign (=).
- Numbered (positional) parameters
{{quote|1=phrase|2=person|3=source}}
- Named parameters
{{quote|text=phrase|sign=person|source=source}}
Example
- Wikitext
{{Quote|text=Cry "Havoc" and let slip the dogs of war.|sign=[[William Shakespeare]]|source=''[[Julius Caesar (play)|Julius Caesar]]'', act III, scene I}}
- Result
Cry "Havoc" and let slip the dogs of war.—William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, act III, scene I
Restrictions
If you do not provide quoted text, the template generates a parser error message, which will appear in red text in the rendered page.
If any parameter's actual value contains an equals sign (=), you must either use named parameters or replace the equals sign with {{=}}. (The equals sign gets interpreted as a named parameter otherwise.) See Template:=.
If any parameter's actual value contains characters used for wiki markup syntax (such as pipe, brackets, single quotation marks, etc.), you may need to escape it. See Template:! and friends.
Be wary of URLs which contain restricted characters. The equals sign is especially common.
