'''<nowiki>{{Quote}}</nowiki>''' adds a [[block quote]] to an article page.

This is easier to type and more wiki-like than the equivalent HTML <nowiki><blockquote></blockquote></nowiki> tags, has additional pre-formatted attribution and source parameters, and contains a workaround for a bug which means you don't need to type <nowiki><p></p></nowiki> tags manually.

Note: Block quotes do not normally contain quotation marks.

=== Synopsis ===

;Unnamed (positional) parameters
<code><nowiki>{{quote|phrase|person|source}}</nowiki></code>

;Named parameters
<code><nowiki>{{quote|text=phrase|sign=person|source=source}}</nowiki></code>

=== Example ===

;Wikitext:
<code><nowiki>{{Quote|text=Cry "Havoc" and let slip the dogs of war.|sign=[[William Shakespeare]]|source=''[[Julius Caesar (play)|Julius Caesar]]'', Act III, Scene I}}</nowiki></code>

;Result:
{{Quote|text=Cry "Havoc" and let slip the dogs of war.|sign=[[William Shakespeare]]|source=''[[Julius Caesar (play)|Julius Caesar]]'', Act III, Scene I}}

=== Restrictions ===

If you do not provide quoted text, the template generates a parser error message, which will appear in red text in the rendered page.

If any parameter's actual value contains an [[equals sign]] (=), you '''''must''''' use named parameters. (The equals sign gets interpreted as a named parameter otherwise.)

If any parameter's actual value contains characters used for wiki markup syntax (such as [[vertical bar|pipe]], [[brackets]], single quotation marks, etc.), you may need to escape it.

Be wary of URLs which contain restricted characters. The equals sign is especially common.
