This is a template that formats a quote in a prominent, visually pleasing manner.

Usage: By consensus, this template should be used only for real quotes, preferably sourced. Also by consensus, this template should not be used simply to display a tech-spec motto-- quotes should illustrate or illuminate an essential facet of the character.


{{quote | Insert the text of the quote here, without quotation marks. | Who | Where }}

Insert the text of the quote here, without quotation marks. Who , Where

Note for future editors: The table for this template has class 'cquote' assigned to it. There is no Cascading Style Sheet definition for .cquote at this time; the class was included in the the original Cquote Wikimedia Template (which this template was blatantly stolen from patterned on) for the purpose of forward compatability. Hopefully this saves you 30 minutes of of searching and scratching your heads.
