Module talk:Quotations

This isn't suited for quoting newspapers. Where does the newspaper name go? Should the date, e.g. 02.12.2012, be added with the parameter year=? --Vahag (talk) 11:42, 30 December 2013 (UTC) From what I understand, this is for citing classical texts, such as Homer, Shakespeare, the Bible, etc. --WikiTiki89 16:17, 30 December 2013 (UTC) Well, yes and no. It was built with my needs in Ancient Greek in mind, and so it is of course naturally skewed towards those needs, but I would like to make it as general purpose as practical. It is truly my ambition to make this the one-stop template for all quotations. That being said, it is possible that such a lofty goal is a pipe dream. Could you give me an example of a template which does newspaper citations well, or simply one well-formatted by hand? I'd be happy to look into the possibility of expanding. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 04:04, 31 December 2013 (UTC) {{quote-news}} does newspaper citations well. --Vahag (talk) 13:07, 31 December 2013 (UTC) Do you plan on adding functionality for the actual text of the quotations, or is this meant to be solely a reference template? DTLHS (talk) 04:58, 31 December 2013 (UTC) It should already support text. That's what {{{quote}}}, {{{trans}}}, etc. are for. Admittedly, I haven't used it (and thus haven't tested it) much, but it should work. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 05:52, 31 December 2013 (UTC) I think you two should collaborate and create one quotation-usex-reference übertemplate which merges the functionality of everything in Category:Citation templates. --Vahag (talk) 13:07, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
