Usage

This template should be used for block quotations in Signpost articles, as deemed appropriate by its formatting guide.

Takes the following params, and passes them through to {{Talkquote}}:

• {{{text}}}, or {{{1}}}
• {{{by}}}
• {{{source}}}
• {{{ts}}}
• {{{oldid}}}

This template must not be indented with colon (:) markup; doing so causes MediaWiki syntax errors.

An example of what it looks like is:

{{Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/block quote | text = The goose is on the loose! The geese are on the lease! | by = Oscar Wilde | source = Quotations | ts = Notes from the Underpoop | oldid = 1234567890 }}

The goose is on the loose! The geese are on the lease! — User:Oscar Wilde — Quotations Notes from the Underpoop

Blank version for copypasting:

{{Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/block quote
 | text   = 
 | by     = 
 | source = 
 | ts     = 
 | oldid  = 
}}
