This template employs intricate features of template syntax.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages.

[edit] Usage

  • There are two parameters. The first is the quotation itself. The second is the source, if known (optional).
  • You should not put quotation marks around the quote. This template acts as a block quote to separate it from the text instead.
  • The template will automatically put the source into a reference format. If using it, make sure the page has a references section, i.e. a section with the code: <references/> or {{reflist}}.
  • {{Jimboquote|What Jimbo said|Where he said it}}

produces:

What Jimbo said

–Jimmy Wales Where he said it
