Forum:CT Archive/Clarifying use of quote templates

Recently, I have discovered that our policy on use of Quote vs. Dialogue is somewhat ambiguous, specifically with regard to which should be used for two-speaker quotes that are three or more lines in length. I have always believed that Quote should be used for two speakers regardless of length and have been backed up on that by Tope and Grunny, but some other users, including Havac and Menkooroo, have interpreted the MOS and the original CT to mean that two-speaker quotes with three or more lines should use Dialogue instead.

Therefore, this is a vote to decide which way we should go with this. Whichever way this goes, it will be clarified in the previously linked section of the MOS. I'm not in the mood right now to bother writing up two exact proposal; it should be simple enough that it can be handled by the closing admin without controversy.

Option 1
This option is to use Quote for two-speaker quotes regardless of length.

Option 2
This option is to use Quote only for one-speaker and two-speaker/two-line quotes, and use Dialogue for quotes with three or more lines.
