Usage

edit

This template should be used for block quotations in Signpost articles, as deemed appropriate by its formatting guide.

Takes the following params, and passes them through to {{Talkquote}}:

  • {{{text}}}, or {{{1}}}
  • {{{by}}}
  • {{{source}}}
  • {{{ts}}}
  • {{{oldid}}}

This template must not be indented with colon (:) markup; doing so causes MediaWiki syntax errors.

An example of what it looks like is:

{{Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/block quote
 | text   = The goose is on the loose! The geese are on the lease!
 | by     = Oscar Wilde
 | source = Quotations
 | ts     = Notes from the Underpoop
 | oldid  = 1234567890
}}

The goose is on the loose! The geese are on the lease!
— User:Oscar Wilde
— Quotations Notes from the Underpoop
