Template:Blockquote/doc: Difference between revisions

{{para|title}} a.k.a. {{para|3}} – Title of the work the quote appears in. This parameter immediately follows the output of {{para|author}} (and an auto-generated comma); it does not auto-italicize. Major works (books, plays, albums, feature films, etc.) should be italicized; minor works (articles, chapters, poems, songs, TV episodes, etc.) go in quotation marks {{crossref|(see [[MOS:TITLES]])}}. Both can be given at once: {{para|source|"The Aerodynamics of Shaved Weasels", <nowiki>''Perspectives on Mammal Barbering''</nowiki>, 2016}}. Alternatively, secondary information can be provided in a fourth parameter, below.

 

 

{{para|character}} a.k.a. {{para|char}} – to attribute fictional speech to a fictional character, {{em|with}} other citation information. Can also be used to attribute real speech to a specific speaker, e.g. in a roundtable/panel transcript, a band interview, etc. This parameter outputs "[{{Var|Character's name}}], in" after the attribution dash and before the output of the parameters above, thus one or more of those parameters must also be supplied. If you need to cite a fictional speaker in an article about a single work of fiction, where repeating the author and title information would be redundant, you can just use the {{para|author}} parameter instead of {{para|character}}.
