{{{quote}}}

—{{{cite}}}

Usage

This template is for epigraphs or pull quotes meant to stand out, not for regular long quotations. The difference with {{Quote}} is that the attribution has the text size than the quote (instead of being slightly smaller).

The quote parameter is required. The cite parameter is optional. Cut-’n’-paste:

 {{epigraph
 | quote =
 | cite =
 }}

Examples

From "T-26".

 {{epigraph
 | quote = The tank of the Spanish Civil War: T-26B
 | cite = Lucas Molina Franco
 }}

Result

The tank of the Spanish Civil War: T-26B

—Lucas Molina Franco

With a note

 {{epigraph
 | quote = The greatest caution must be used in deducing general lessons from this war: a little adroitness and it will be possible to use it to “prove” any preconceived theory
 | cite = Anonymous British attaché to the Spanish Republic<ref>Zaloga, </ref>
 }}
...
<references />

Result

The greatest caution must be used in deducing general lessons from this war: a little adroitness and it will be possible to use it to “prove” any preconceived theory

—Anonymous British attaché to the Spanish Republic

Zaloga, "Soviet Tank Operations"

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
{{Translated blockquote}}	Displays original language above and translated text below
{{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
{{Quote inline}}(shortcut: {{qi}})	Inline quotation
{{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)
{{Divbox}}	To frame messages or the example output of an article or template
