Template documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Talk quote block/doc. (edit | history)

Use {{Talk quote block}}, {{tqb}}, or {{tq2}} to quote (another's comments, a policy statement, etc.) in a block, on talk pages and noticeboards. It can be safely used after colon-indenting as well (see the § Indenting example below (§ Caveats). For a short inline quote, instead use {{Talk quote inline}}.

Usage

Unnamed (positional) parameters:

• {{Talk quote block|text|by}}
  • The order of positional parameters cannot change - text must come before by.

Named parameters:

• {{Talk quote block|text=|by=|source=|ts=|id=}}

Parameters

• |text= (or |1=): The text being quoted.
• |by= (or |2=): The author of the text being quoted. A Wikipedia username is expected, and the username will be provided as a wikilink to the author's user page.
• |source=: The source of the text being quoted. Use instead of |by= when source is not individual user name, or when copy-pasting an entire sig.
• |ts=: The timestamp of the edit whose text is being quoted. Hint: You can use five tildes to supply the current date and time: |ts=~~~~~.
• |id=: The ID of the comment that will be used in a link to it if the |ts= parameter is also present. You can copy it by right-clicking the timestamp.
• |oldid=: The revision ID of the edit introducing the change that was made. Displayed as the timestamp linking to the diff of the edit. (requires |ts= or is not shown).
• |diff=: The link to the diff comparing target.
• |style=: HTML in-line style. (see the testcases)
• |nodash=y or |no-dash=y: Suppresses the em dash and space before |source=, for when pasting a sig that already starts with a dash.
• |noping=y or |no-ping=y: Suppresses the link to the author to avoid notifying them.
