This template is used to configure the articles found in the Selected quote section found on most Wikipedia Portal main pages. Used it on the article pages that are linked to the Selected quote sub-page, e.g. Portal:Foo/Selected quote/1. For the quickest and easiest way to create the Portal:Foo/Selected bar sub-page and related article links, use one of the {{Numbered subpages}} templates.
{{Selected quote
| quote = <!--- Required --->
| quoted = <!--- Required --->
| omit_quoted =
| comment =
| dates =
| source =
| section =
| archive =
}}
It is unnecessary to include braces, quotation marks or other wiki-markup in the template. The |comment= field does allow the use of wiki-markup at the contributor's discretion.
The following example:
{{Selected quote
| quote = Good wine is a good familiar creature if it be well used.
| quoted = William Shakespeare
| dates = 1564-1616
| comment = Dead English guy
| source = Othello
| section = II. iii. (315)
}}
will produce:
“ | Good wine is a good familiar creature if it be well used. | ” |
— William Shakespeare (1564-1616) Othello II. iii. (315) Dead English guy |
