Hi all... with the quote template, how do we go about adding two people talking? I have a [[STEU Project:Featured content#Quotes|few good quotes]] I've found but it's between two people. Do I just put that in normal format or should we alter the quote template or...? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! --[[User:Usscantabrian|usscantabrian]] 22:57, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

:I have just this minute created a template [[Template:Quote2]] that handles the case where it is exactly two lines of dialogue. I had hoped to cleverly create one that adjusted magically to allow 2 or 3 lines but in the end I decided I was trying to be too clever. --[[User:Leckford|Leckford]] 00:36, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

I did April early since it's been so long since the last one, also to get my head into the flow of updating this. Will try to keep up. --[[User:Hawku|Hawku]] ([[User talk:Hawku|talk]]) 15:55, March 18, 2016 (UTC)
==Nominated quotation sources==
 
Shouldn't we also we noting the author and which particular work the quotation is from (so maybe I could read them in context :))? --[[User:Zcochrane|Good 'ol ZC]] 18:49, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 
:They're generally copied from the page where it originates. The quotes from [[Lewis]] are in that article, which ''should'' be sourced to specific [[Star Trek: Unity]] episodes. In every other case, if you look in the quote archive, it will tell you which character said it and which series and episode it comes from. Like the quote from [[Caar]], which was featured a few months ago. --[[User:TimPendragon|TimPendragon]] 18:57, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 
::I'm also speaking as a writer. If someone uses a line/quotation from one of my works on a different page, I would appreciate a credit or at least a pointer to the series/episode/fanfic piece it was pulled from so visitors to the front page can click on it and see who originated it. If a quotation is on the main espidoe page, then it's within context of that page, which should also include a writing credit in the sidebar. There's no such context on the front page. Let's give credit where it's due. --[[Image:2395 Combadge.jpg|15px]] '''[[User:Zcochrane|Good 'ol ZC]]''' <sup>([[User_talk:Zcochrane|talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Zcochrane|contribs]])</sup> 17:08, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

QotM - April 2016[]

I did April early since it's been so long since the last one, also to get my head into the flow of updating this. Will try to keep up. --Hawku (talk) 15:55, March 18, 2016 (UTC)
