{{{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 same text size as 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

  1. Zaloga, "Soviet Tank Operations"

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
{{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

{{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
