Forum:CT Archive/Modifying quote templates

After some discussion on a SH thread, I bring this thing to a CT.

The new dialogue template

So, well, what's this about? It's a new dialogue template, which will replace almost every other quote template. Practical, isn't it?

There are a few things that will change if we adopt this new dialogue template: Some examples can be found at my subpage. If you have any questions regarding the new template, ask me either here or on my talk page.
 * The code will be
 * |attr= is the attribution, or who said it.
 * |audio= doesn't need to be filled (nor included in the code) if there isn't audio for the quote. Otherwise, add the file name without the "File:" prefix.
 * |url= doesn't need to be filled nor included in the code if the source is an internal link. If the source, however, is an url, add 'yes' here, like ...|url=yes|src=....
 * |src= is the source parameter; where you add the source. If you enter 'yes' above, you can add an url as a source.

The only dialogue templates that will remain are dialogue Bilingual, dialoguetrans, dialoguetrans2 and dialoguetrans3.

Modifying the quote template

Well, what's this about, then? It's a new, modified quote template, which can be used just like the standard one, the qlisten and quoteurl.

There are a few things that will change if the new version of the quote template is adopted:
 * The standard quote will still be the same  "dialogue"

- attribution 
 * However, if there is audio for the quote, you can add another parameter, |audio=, between the attribution and the source, like this:  "dialogue"

- attribution </tt>
 * If the source is an url, you can add an |url=</tt> parameter, which can be filled with an url, like this:  "dialogue"

- attribution </tt> Some examples can be found at my other subpage. As with the above proposal, questions can be left here on my talk page.

The quote templates that will remain are qlistentrans, quotetrans, quotetrans2, quote2 and quoteurl2. '''Please note that if we adopt these new templates, it will take a while before we have updated them all. During this time, I think that everyone has get used to the templates.'''
