Template talk:Quote

no links to the page the quote is on

how about:

{{#ifeq:{{{3|{{PAGENAME}}}}}|{{PAGENAME}}||<sup class="noprint">[[{{{3|}}}|[src]]]</sup>}}

instead of:

{{#if:{{{3|}}}|<sup class="noprint">[[{{{3|}}}|[src]]]</sup>}}

or is there a better solution? -- Q1712 23:39, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

had another idea:

showing the source written out source, in that case it would be a link ot bold text:

{{#if:{{{3|}}}|<sup>[ [[{{{3}}}]] ]</sup>}}

i know that you had xour reasons for hiding the text, but as there is a lotta work generated by reedeting quotes it may be a alternative again. looking forward to get to know your opinions -- Q1712 ^{(talk | contribs)} 15:38, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Quotation marks too big

Please fix the size of the quotation marks around the quotes, they are way too big and interfere with the pages' format. Thank you. Doug86 ^{talk to me} 01:34, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

Redlinks on Dark Skin

On the light skin (white background), this template is very clear. But on the dark skin (dark blue background), the links are very pale blue and hard to read, but the redlinks are almost impossible with a very light shade of pink. The best option might be to change the background colour to something that works for both skins. --xensyria^T 14:48, June 11, 2017 (UTC)

Fixing sources for real-world use

This template was originally designed for use only with in-universe sources that have pages on this wiki. However, it also has applications on real-world pages where citing a specific link may be desirable. The problem is that this template has not been designed to handle this and it causes issues. I have fixed these at User:Bongolium500/quote. As this template is locked, could an admin please replace this content of this page with the content of mine? Bongo50 ☎ 17:26, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

It would be great to see this improvement! It would also be nice if, when the second field is unspecified, the template could simply omit that field instead of showing a ghostly {{{2}}}; the ghosts in this comment are causing formatting problems when embedded at User:SOTO/Forum Archive/Help!. – n8 (☎) 19:07, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

I had completely forgotten about this. I'll take a look at it when I next have some time for proper editing. Bongo50 ☎ 20:44, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Source links broken

Ok so I don't really understand how this works so I don't know how to fix it, but the links that should look like "^[src]" aren't working correctly and display like "[Doctor Who Wiki [src]]" - CodeAndGin | 🗨 | 18:52, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
