This is a documentation subpage for Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/block quote. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original wikipedia page.

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
}}

Blank version for copypasting:

{{Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/block quote
 | text   = 
 | by     = 
 | source = 
 | ts     = 
 | oldid  = 
}}
