== Usage ==
This template adds a [[wikipedia:block quotation|block quotation]] to an article page.
 
  
It is a simplified version of Wikipedia's [[wikipedia:Template:Blockquote|Template:Blockquote]].
+
* Copy and paste:
  
== Parameters ==
+
<pre>{{quote|citing phrase or stament|name}}</pre>
This template doesn't need the parameters to be named if kept in the right order:
 
  
<pre>{{quote|Quote text|A name|A source|Size}}</pre>
+
=== Example ===
  
Nevertheless, they can be named if some values do not exist, or contain special characters (e.g. "<code>=</code>" inside a web address).
+
<pre>{{quote|This is the original text|A name|A source}}</pre>
  
Note that the "source" will display a comma and a space in front of it, so it needs to be preceded by an "author".
+
Gives:
  
<pre>
+
{{quote|This is the original text|A name|A source}}
{{Quote
 
| text   =
 
| author =
 
| source =
 
| size  =
 
| large  =
 
}}
 
</pre>
 
  
* <code>text</code>: the text to quote.
+
They can also be used to quote non-people, and accept links
* <code>author</code>: its author.
 
* <code>source</code>: the source of the quote (internal or external links can be used).
 
* <code>size</code>: the prefered font size in pixels (should <u>not</u> be used in articles).
 
* <code>large</code>: used to display the quote in a bigger size (used on top of articles principally). Any value will activate it, but preferably use "yes".
 
  
== Examples ==
+
<pre>{{quote|The best historians of the Ordo Historia believe that humanity first left its origin planet Earth about 3,400 years ago.|"The basics"|[[Lore#Cryptosleep Revival Briefing|Cryptosleep Revival Briefing]]}}</pre>
