* {{strong|NOTE: This template should {{em|only}} be used for short pull quotes, which repeat quoted text already appearing in the article, and {{em|never}} for block quotations.}}.
* The [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Block quotations|Manual of Style guidelines for block quotations]] recommend formatting block quotations using the HTML <[[blockquote]]> element (which can be done with the {{tl|bq}} template), or the {{tl|quote}} or {{tl|quote box}} quotation templates).
* Pull quotes work best when used with short sentences, and at the start or end of a section, as a hint of the following section's content.
* For very short pull quotes, consider using {{tl|Reduced pull quote}} which sets the quote off to either the right or left as in a magazine [[Sidebar (publishing)|sidebar]]. This can be effective on [[WP:ESSAY|essay]] pages and [[WP:WIKIPROJECT|WikiProject]] homepages.
