{{para|text}} a.k.a. {{para|1}} – The material being quoted, without quotation marks around it. It is always safest to name this parameter (rather than use an unnamed positional parameter), because otherwise any inclusion of the {{=}} character (e.g. in a URL in a source citation) will break the template. |
||
{{para|author}} a.k.a. {{para|2}} |
{{para|author}} a.k.a. {{para|2}} – Author/speaker attribution information that will appear below the quotation. |
||
{{para| |
{{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|source}} a.k.a. {{para|4}} – Can optionally be used for the secondary citation information, after {{para|title}}, like so: {{para|title|"The Aerodynamics of Shaved Weasels"}}{{para|source|<nowiki>''Perspectives on Mammal Barbering''</nowiki>, 2016}}; a comma will be auto-generated between the two parameters. If {{para|source}} is used without {{para|title}}, it simply acts as {{para|title}}. |
