Wikiquote:Template messages

From Wikiquote
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Templates are used within articles to provide a consistent look to the messages placed into them. Changes to the look, wording, or style of the message can be implemented quickly, because templates are rendered for the reader when the article loads. Spaces in the name are allowed, e.g. {{train topics}}. The first character (only) is not case-sensitive, so {{cleanup}} and {{Cleanup}} both work. This technique is commonly known as transclusion.

Templates can also accept parameters which are then inserted into the output of the template.

Templates in the article namespace exist only to help readers. These can include navigation aids, or warnings that content is sub-standard. Templates that provide information only of service to editors belong on an article's talk page.

Instructions : When you add new template messages to this page, please help keep the tables in alphabetical order.

{{Quotation limit|type}}

edit
Talk
Links

This article falls within a proposed limits on quotations policy.

The subject of this article is a film, and as a result, the proposal would set a limitation of five quotes per hour (about one quote every 12 minutes).

If you would like to add another quote to the page, you should consider whether to remove one that is already there in order to keep within the bounds of fair use of copyright material.

Recommended order of cleanup templates[edit]

It is recommended that cleanup and other Wikiquote-maintenance templates be given in a specific order, roughly according to the seriousness of the issues involved:

  1. Deletion templates: {{vfd}}, {{deletebecause}}, {{db}}
  2. Templates raising Wikimedia policy concerns: {{checkcopyright}}, {{copyvio}}, {{npov}}
  3. Merge templates (when applied to the whole page): {{merge}}, {{mergeto}}, {{mergefrom}}
  4. Article introduction or {{no-intro}}
  5. Cleanup templates (except {{no-intro}})
  6. Stub templates
