Template:Nicequote
“{{{1}}}”
– Nicequote
.svg){kind=icon}
Template documentationThe same as the normal quote template, minus the stuff, and plus some other things.
Usage
- Example 1
The following code will generate the quote you see below. Using the third parameter is optional.
{{Nice quote|Please don't quote me again, or I will be forced to sue you for this nonsense.|Oscar Wilde|using Wilde quotes}}
“Please don't quote me again, or I will be forced to sue you for this nonsense.”
– Oscar Wilde on using Wilde quotes
The 2nd parameter automatically becomes a wikilink if a corresponding page exists. If not, or if the current base page name matches the 2nd parameter, it will remain as plain text.[a]
- Example 2
Using only the first parameter will give you the page name as the "author" by default.
{{Nice quote|'Cause we're living in a world of fools, breaking us down, when they all should let us be...}}
“'Cause we're living in a world of fools, breaking us down, when they all should let us be...”
– Nicequote
- Example 3
Setting style to inline will remove the blockquote, and make the text inline (if you can believe it).
{{Nice quote|style=inline|Please don't quote me again, or I will be forced to sue you for this nonsense.|Oscar Wilde|using Wilde quotes}}
“Please don't quote me again, or I will be forced to sue you for this nonsense.” – Oscar Wilde on using Wilde quotes
Notes
- ↑ Specifying a link like
{{Nice quote|My spleen!|[[Oscar Wilde]]}}should be theoretically fine, as the{{#ifexist:}}parser function interprets the{{{2}}}string as the literal text including the brackets, wherein the parser says that a page literally titled[[Oscar Wilde]]doesn't exist, in which case our handy dandy markup spits the wikilink back at you. Isn't that neat?
