Quotation templates

Template	Use / description
↓ Block quotations	General purpose
{{Blockquote}}	Our standard block quotation template: unbordered page-wide quotation with optional smaller-sized attribution
{{Break lines}}	Transforms line breaks into `<br />` tags. It is very similar to the {{Poem }} template, except that it does not invoke the `<poem>` MediaWiki extension.
{{Numbered verses}}	Quote poems showing the verse numbers
{{Poem}}	{{Blockquote }} variant for use with poems, song lyrics, and other things that would otherwise require the use of `<poem>` tags or frequent formatting elements (such as <br /> ); requires substitution
{{Poem quote}}	{{Blockquote }} variant for use with poems, song lyrics, and other things that would otherwise require the use of `<poem>` tags or frequent formatting elements (such as <br /> ); does not require substitution
{{Poetically break lines}} (shortcut: {{pbl}})	Designed to format poetry simply and reliably; it differs from {{Poem quote }} in two significant ways: it does not add spacing around the poem that sets it apart as “block quote”, and it automatically provides hanging indentation when lines are so long that they wrap
{{Text and translation}}	Displays original language and translated text, one beside the other
{{Verse translation}}	Displays original language verse (defaults to italics) and translated verse (roman) side-by-side
{{Verse transliteration-translation}}	Like {{Verse translation }}, but with a transliteration separate from the original version
{{Cquote}}	"centered quote" – Page-wide quote, between large quotation marks
{{Rquote}}	"reduced quote" – Quote between large quotation marks in a reduced floating area
{{Quote frame}}	Page-wide bordered quote
{{Quote box}}	Quote floated in a reduced bordered box
{{Tweet}}	For quoting directly from tweets. Automatically generates {{Cite tweet}} citation, or a custom reference can be provided.

↓ Talk page quoting	Not for use in articles nor the project space at all
{{Talk quote inline}} (shortcut: {{tq}}, {{tqq}}, {{tqi}}, or {{tqqi}})	Inline quotation for use on talk pages
{{Not talk quote inline}} (shortcut: {{!tq}}, {{!tqq}}, {{!tqi}}, or {{!tqqi}})	Inline quotation for what someone didn't say but could have, or perhaps should have, said.
{{Talk quote block}} (shortcut: {{tqb}}, {{tq2}})	Block-style quotation for use on talk pages
{{Talk quote block minimalist}} (shortcut: {{tqbm}})	Minimalist version of above

↓ Alternative	For indenting non-quotations
{{Block indent}}	To indent an entire block of content (uses <div> and CSS margins)

'''Direct variants'''
* {{tl|SameName2}}, identical but using italic text.
* {{tl|SameName3}}, identical but using bold text.

'''Useful related templates'''

* {{tl|Smaller-end}}, to end smaller-font section.

{{Quotation templates}}

This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.

To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:

{{Quotation templates|state=collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
{{Quotation templates|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
