Annoying yellowness
The template doesn't have to be THAT noticeable, does it? XP Mathfreak231 (talk | contribs) 20:30, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
- I wouldn't worry too much about that. What this template needs is a way to indent with text like when Scimonster quoted the Community Guidelines.

- I suggest #E0E0E0 for the color. It's the border-color of this website, so it won't stick out, and it's not too ugly, right?

Usefulness of this template
Why is it necessary to have two different quote templates? Wes64 (talk | contribs) 15:51, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
- I've always wondered that, but it's hard to decide which to keep.

- For different styles.

- But isn't the wiki supposed to maintain a standard style? Or at least this is what I have deduced from the standards of page titles, of categorizing, etc. There aren't two templates for everything, plus this one sticks out like a sore thumb because nothing else in the wiki is yellow. It looks like a warning.

- This one happens to work better on talk pages.

- Ah, that does make sense, I suppose. But I don't see why you would need to even use lots of formatting on a talk page unless you were teaching someone how to use the template.

- What? I could always make it so you can have one template and put
|template=1
or|template=2
and 1 would retrieve Template:Quote and 2 would retrieve what's currently called Template:Quote2, this template. Or I can make it so on talk pages this template is used and on other pages Template:Quote gets used. I would use{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|User talk|<Quote2 stuff>|{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Talk|<Quote2 stuff>|<Quote stuff>}}}}
