person   = topic is person
story    = topic is story

NON-LINKING VARIABLES
unlinked = topic is something for which there is no page
more     = something allowed with all of the above messages
                (it lets you tag a bit more info onto a
                message for clarification)
freeform  = allows totally freeform message

Usage

{{qotw|variable=text}}
or, if addendum is required
{{qotw|variable=text|more=text}}

Let's now go through the various messages displayed when the above variables are employed.

If I type:

{{qotw|thing=gravity globe}}

I'll get:

Elizabeth Klein: Schmidt called it "the TARDIS". It meant nothing to me. I'd never heard that name until I met you. How on Earth could Schmidt know it?
Seventh Doctor:: The memory cheats. Perhaps your memory is playing tricks with you. I used to think Professor X was better in the sixties until I went back and watched it again. even Vault of the Cyborgs.
Klein: No, I know what I heard. He definitely said, "TARDIS".
Seventh Doctor: Anyway it's all in the past now. Well, a version of the past. Your past, to be more precise.
Klein: How could Schmidt have known? Yet another thing to haunt me the rest of my life. I can't let it go. Somehow, I just know that it's important. I can feel it.
