'''{{tl|Centered pull quote}}''' is a template meant for [[pull quote]]s, the visually distinctive ''repetition'' of text that is ''already present'' in the same article. In most cases, this is not appropriate for use in encyclopedia articles.
 
* <font color="red">'''{{red|NOTE''': This template should ''not''not be used''' for quotations</font>}}''' if they are not repeated elsewhere in the main text. The [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#QuotationsBlock quotations|Manual of Style guidelines for block quotations]] recommendationrecommend is:formatting block quotations using the HTML &lt;[[blockquote]]&gt; element (which can be done with the {{tl|bq}} template), or the {{tl|quote}} or {{tl|quote box}} quotation templates.
** For visually distinctive quotation, use {{tl|Quotation}} template.
** For long quotations, use the HTML &lt;[[blockquote]]&gt; element, such as through the use of the {{tl|Quote}} or {{tl|quote box}} template.
* Pull quotes work best when used with short sentences, and at the start or end of a section, as a hint of the section's content.
* For shorter pull quotes of 50 words or fewer in a similar style, 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.
