Template:Blockquote/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Blockquote. It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
The Blockquote template is used to add a block quote into an article. This is easier to type and more wiki-like than the equivalent HTML <blockquote></blockquote> tags, has additional pre-formatted attribution and source parameters.
This template should be used for longer quotes (four or more sentences); for short, one or two-sentence quotes, use Template:Cquote2.
Usage
{{Quote|quote|author|source}}
Parameters
- first parameter (required) - the quote itself; do not add quotation marks around it
- second parameter (optional) - the author
- third parameter (optional) - the source; if the source is in-game, the name of the author is enough; if using a citation template, place it in the second parameter instead
Example
{{Quote|The King of the Northern Gnomes, Narnode Shareen, is once again in need of your help. He recently decided to send an envoy of his Royal Guard, the 10th squad, to oversee the decommissioning of the Gnome owned ship-building facilities on the eastern coast of Karamja.
It has been quite some time since the 10th squad were dispatched and they have been deemed missing in action. It will be up to you, should you decide to help, to find out what fate befell the 10th squad and if possible, track them down.
If only it were so simple. Sinister forces have begun to spread through the Gnome hierarchy and threaten to unleash an unknown terror upon the world. Far across the land, the fires of vengeance are being stoked once again. Can you unravel the mystery behind the deception? Can you separate the truth from the lies? Can you decide for yourself what is real and what is not?|Wise Old Man|Postbag from the Hedge}}
