Quotations are not encyclopedic in and of themselves and therefore should not be used as headers to articles or at the top of sub-headings within articles. Quotations can be used within the text body of an article to emphasis a certain point or highlight a certain issue of the article's focus, often a quote can explain things better than we can ourselves.
For example:
- Vicki described Time as "like space, although a dimension of itself, also has dimensions of its own." (TV: The Space Museum)
Real world articles and Behind the scenes sections[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Quote template and quotes may be used within Real world articles or behind the scenes sections (including on occasion as headers), as quotes from the real world often are sourced from a wide variety of sources, that are often handled better by the template.
For example see the quote template used within this Doctor Who (2009)#Setting for the Tenth Doctor article.
