# <code><nowiki>{{cquote|quote text|quotewidthauthor=40px}}</nowiki></code>author or <code><nowiki>{{cquote|quote text|40px|speaker}}</nowiki></code>
# <code><nowiki>{{cquote|quote text|quote width in pixels||author=author or speaker|source=title of article, speech, book, etc.}}</nowiki></code>
;Only the first parameter is required.
:But since sizes are slotted into the second parameter place by default, to cite a source one must deliberately define dummy parameters for those (abusing the template logic, which expects numbers), or explicitly define the source author and publication as 4= and 5= respectively (using them as named parameters—the preprocessor takes such fine):
|4=Author
|5=Publication}}
which is generated by:
<pre>
{{cquote|This is one.
|4=Author
|5=Publication}}
</pre>
or
<pre>{{cquote|This is one. ▼|author=Author
|source=Publication}} </pre>
===Parameters===
: '''''Required'''''
: '''Note''': if the quote text contains one or more "=" (equal signs), then the template must be called as <nowiki>{{cquote|</nowiki>'''<span style="color:red;">1=</span>'''<nowiki>quote text}}</nowiki> (see [[m:Help:Templates#Equals sign in parameter value|"Equals sign in parameter value"]])
;ParameterDeprecated positional parameter 2: "size", "quotewidth", or "width" can also be used. – deprecated; desiredDesired size of the quotation marks. Currently this value is ignored and the size is always 35px, except for the values 10px, 20px, 30px, 40px, 50px, and 60px retained for historical reasons. This was used to scale the graphical [[quotation mark]]s up and down to suit larger or smaller quotes.
;<del>ParameterDeprecated positional parameter 3</del>:<del>"quoteheight"</del> – it was used for desired height of the quotation marks, but nois now longerignored.
; author / Parameter 4: Name of the person that wrote or spoke the text being quoted. Can include linkswiki syntax.
; source / publication / Parameter 5: Source of the quote (publication title, speech, etc.). Can include linkswiki syntax. ▼: '''Note''': if the text contains one or more "=" (equal signs), then the template must be called as <nowiki>{{cquote|</nowiki>'''<span style="color:red;">4=</span>'''<nowiki>text}}</nowiki>
▲; source / publication / Parameter 5: Source of the quote (publication title, speech, etc.). Can include links.
: '''Note''': if the text contains one or more "=" (equal signs), then the template must be called as <nowiki>{{cquote|</nowiki>'''<span style="color:red;">5=</span>'''<nowiki>text}}</nowiki>
; bgcolor: The color of the background.
; wide: When set to "yes", the quote expands to the entire width of the page. UsefullUseful for small quotes, but may clash with other floating objects, such as infoboxes.

{{cquote|External success has to do with people who may see me as a model, or an example, or a representative. As much as I may dislike or want to reject that responsibility, this is something that comes with public success. It's important to give others a sense of hope that it is possible and you can come from really different places in the world and find your own place in the world that's unique for yourself.|4=[[Amy Tan]]}}<!--This is a bad example, as it is illustrating use of the template in article text, not as a pull-quote!-->

▲<pre>{{cquote|(the ''1= quote'' text}}</pre>is necessary as (quote text contains an equal sign)
{{cquote|1=F=ma|author=[[Isaac Newton]]}}
▲<pre>{{cquote| This is one.1=Thus:
