(update docs for recent change)
Line 3:
'''{{tl|Quote}}''' adds a [[block quote]] to an article page.
 
This is easier to type and more wiki-like than the equivalent HTML <code><nowiki><{{tag|blockquote></nowiki></code>}} tags, has additional pre-formatted attribution and source parameters, and contains a workaround for [[Bugzilla:6200]], which means you don't need to type <code><nowiki><{{tag|p></nowiki></code>}} tags manually.
 
Note: Block quotes do not normally contain quotation marks. See [[Block quote#Formatting block quotations|Formatting block quotations]].

; Wikitext:
<!-- for the documentation don't subst the result -->
<code><nowiki>{{quote|text=Cry “Havoc,” and let slip the dogs of war.|sign=[[William Shakespeare]]|source=[[Julius Caesar (play)|Julius Caesar]], Act III, Scene I}}</nowiki></code>
{| class="wikitable"

| {{msg:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|{{lorem ipsum}}|Some Guy Who Thought He Spoke Latin|''Pseudo-Italic Nonsense''}}
|}
 
▲|; '''Result''':
=== Issues ===
{{quote|text=Cry “Havoc,” and let slip the dogs of war.|sign=[[William Shakespeare]]|source=[[Julius Caesar (play)|Julius Caesar]], Act III, Scene I}}
 
=== Restrictions ===
Phrases containing some URLs are not displayed at all:
 
If you do not provide quoted text, the template generates a parser error message, which will appear in red text in the rendered page.
<code><nowiki>
{{Quote|Phrase with a URL: http://w.a.o/d.php?id=T |Somebody|''Source''}}</nowiki></code> produces:
 
If any parameter's actual value contains an [[equals sign]] (=), you '''''must''''' use named parameters. (The equals sign gets interpreted as a named parameter otherwise.)
{{Quote|Phrase with a URL: http://w.a.o/d.php?id=T |Somebody|''Source''}}
 
If any parameter's actual value contains characters used for wiki markup syntax (such as [[vertical bar|pipe]], [[brackets]], single quotation marks, etc.), you may need to escape it. See [[Template:!]] and friends.
<code><nowiki>
{{Quote|1=Phrase with a URL: http://w.a.o/d.php?id=T |Somebody|''Source''}}</nowiki></code> produces:
 
Be wary of URLs which contain restricted characters. The equals sign is especially common.
{{Quote|1=Phrase with a URL: http://w.a.o/d.php?id=T |Somebody|''Source''}}
