Shortcuts

{{tqb}}
{{tq2}}

This template usesTemplateStyles:

Template:Talk quote block/styles.css (sandbox)

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 beforeby.

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. AWikipedia username is expected, and the username will be provided as awikilink 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=: Thetimestamp of the edit whose text is being quoted. Hint: You can usefive 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=: Therevision 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 thediff comparing target.
|style=:HTML in-line style. (see thetestcases)
|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 avoidnotifying them.

Examples

{{Talk quote block|some random text|Example}} gives:
some random text
— User:Example
{{Talk quote block|more random text|Example|ts=08:52, 21 May 2011 (UTC)}} gives:
more random text
— User:Example 08:52, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
{{Talk quote block|Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.|Example User|ts=08:52, 21 May 2011 (UTC)|id=c-Example_User-20240604182100-Example}} gives:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
— User:Example User 08:52, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
{{Talk quote block|different random text|Example|ts=08:52, 21 May 2011 (UTC)|oldid=139992}} gives:
different random text
— User:Example 08:52, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Note:|ts= must be present for|oldid= link to show.

Suggested boilerplate

{{Talk quote block|1=<nowiki/>|source=}}

{{Talk quote block|1=<nowiki/>|by=|ts=|id=}}

{{Talk quote block|1=<nowiki/>|by=|ts=|oldid=}}

Indenting

The template works with standard talk page indentation, as the following example illustrates. This wiki-markup:

Random paragraph of text.[[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]]) 09:20, 21 May 2011 (UTC):Opening statement by[[User:Example2|Some other user]].:{{talk quote block|Quoting an item from random paragraph.}}:Response to quoted text.[[User:Example2|Some other user]] ([[User talk:Example2|talk]])~~~~~

Displays the following:

Random paragraph of text.Example (talk) 09:20, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Opening statement bySome other user.

Quoting an item from random paragraph.

Response to quoted text.Some other user (talk) 09:26, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Indented multi-line quote

To create an indented multi-line quote (such as within a a reply on a talk page), youmust use <br/> tags to indicate the line breaks, but donot use manual line breaks. Refer to the following example:

Random paragraph of text.[[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]]) 09:20, 21 May 2011 (UTC):Opening statement by[[User:Example2|Some other user]].:{{talk quote block|Quoting an item from random paragraph.<br/>Including a second line.}}:Response to quoted text.[[User:Example2|Some other user]] ([[User talk:Example2|talk]])~~~~~

Displays the following:

Random paragraph of text.Example (talk) 09:20, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Opening statement bySome other user.

Quoting an item from random paragraph.
Including a second line.

Response to quoted text.Some other user (talk) 09:26, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Quoting lists

If the text you are quoting is a bulleted or numbered list, the first list item must start on a new line, or it won't be rendered properly. For example:

Wiki-markup	Output
Wrong way {{talk quote block\|* Item one* Item two}}	First item isn't bulleted correctly: * Item one Item two
Right way {{talk quote block\|* Item one* Item two}}	All items are bulleted correctly: Item one Item two

If you are using the|text= named parameter (as opposed to simply supplying your list as the first parameter) please add the following code:<nowiki /> after the= sign. The reason is that the MediaWiki parser automatically removes line breaks at the start of the text, causing the list to be displayed improperly otherwise. Example:

Wiki-markup	Output
Wrong way {{talk quote block\|text=# Item one# Item two}}	First item isn't numbered correctly: # Item one Item two
Right way {{talk quote block\|text=<nowiki /># Item one# Item two}}	All items are numbered correctly: Item one Item two

Caveats

Complex formatting compatibility

Check§ Quoting, andHelp:Table § Nested tables (for nesting demo).

Quoted URLs with query strings break the template

{{Talk quote block|This here diff: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:IamNotU/sandbox&diff=904787385&oldid=904785977}}

When your template arguments contain an equals sign, you can't use implicit positional parameters because everything preceding the first equals sign gets parsed as the parameter name. The trick, in those situations, is to make the assignmentexplicit, so that your entire argument is unambiguously parsed as the value being assigned to that parameter.

{{Talk quote block|1=This here diff: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:IamNotU/sandbox&diff=904787385&oldid=904785977}}

This here diff:https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:IamNotU/sandbox&diff=904787385&oldid=904785977

Writing the transclusion as{{Talk quote block|1=...}} puts the entire URL on the right-hand side of an assignment to the first unnamed parameter, rather than it being parsed as a template parameter namedThis here diff:https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title that's being assigned the valueUser:IamNotU/sandbox&diff=904787385&oldid=904785977.

Due toMediaWiki's parsing limitations, embedding such templates into alist (using the leading*/#/;/: syntax) is very likely to lead to unexpected results (for it regards thenewline as the syntax delimiterHelp:List §§ Common mistakes, andParagraphs and other breaks).

Play nice with ordered and unordered lists
