[edit] Template-info.svg.png Template documentation

The Quote box template allows users to easily add pull-quotes to articles, and should be used when the speaker is not someone for whom we've already made a dedicated quote box. The quotes are organized into a tidy box, and can feature a photo of the speaker if one is available and meets the style precedents of other quote boxes.

Sample with explanation/place-holder text

{{Quote box|[[IMAGENAME.FILETYPE]]|QUOTE|SPEAKER|SOURCE}}

Real example

{{Quote box|[[Image:Adamorthhead.png]]|Rivers used to have this Toyota Tercel and he would drive me and Justin (and sometimes Matt Hayes) home after school. Since we lived in the country (as opposed to the city) there were all sorts of crazy winding roads and hills in our town. This one particularly steep hill on Gurleyville road that led down to Justin’s house was epic. Steep as hell with an unreal 90 degree dead man’s curve at the bottom. Growing up, I saw many cars wreck on that corner. People died there...|Adam Orth|<ref>Orth, Adam. "we should have died a long time ago." 3 June 2008.

Troubleshooting

This template, like all quote box templates, requires a source. If you do not include one, in place of the [2] link you see above, the text [citation needed] will display.

To omit a photo, merely leave that template parameter blank. Using the above example, that would look like this:

{{Quote box||Rivers used to have this Toyota Tercel and he would drive me and Justin (and sometimes Matt Hayes) home after school.

Note that the parameter is still included - there are two straight line || characters in a row at the beginning of the template syntax. This gives you:
