Template talk:Wikiquote

message: I agree with GD. Please let's delete the link to the Wikiquote article. It doesn't make sense for several reasons:
# It is distracting. I bet a million to one that any reader of the Bob Smith article will be more interested in Bob's quotes than in a Wikipedia article describing a wiki based project, which is unrelated to Bob Smith. 
# It is misleading. If Jane Doe wants to read Bob Smith's quotes and clicks on the first best link in the box she is led to the wrong article.   
# It creates hundreds (and soon thousands) of irrelevant links from all Bob Smiths in the world – see Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Wikiquote.
# If Jane wants to find out what Wikiquote is, she has many ways to do so on Wikiquote itself already. In fact, the link to Bob Smith's quotes already is an excellent demonstration, using an example she cares about.
# If we really want to draw traffic to the Wikiquote article, it would be more forthright to do so with a link on the Wikiquote Main Page.
# Googlebombing can not be a serious reason for imposing something that readers don't want!

message: I think that the page name should be bolded, since people will usually want to read about that rather than about wikiquote.  I'll change it on wikiquote also.  If anybody has a problem with this, feel free to revert, but please leave a note here! Thanks. -Frazzydee|✍ 03:08, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, I just noticed that pagename is italisized in the wiktionary template.  Personally, I don't have a preference for bolding or italics...I'll leave it bolded for now, but whether it's bold or italics, it still gives emphasis, and that's what I was trying to accomplish. -Frazzydee|✍ 03:11, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: I have noticed that if the wikiquote template is placed before stub templates with an image connected to them (such as UK-film-stub), it causes the image of the stub template to split from its text line. The solution seems to be to place the wikiquote template after such templates. Please, either correct the template itself so that it doesn't interfere with other templates' images, or check its placement in a page doesn't mess them up before saving.

My question is, if we link a specific episode like the episode "Cornered" of breaking bad. Does it need quotation marks like this
Thank you in advanced

thread_title:  Quotation marks needed? 

message: Please note I have include boxes for Wikiquote and Commons to show that the layout includes quite a bit of padding. (This is to provide context in case some editor needs to delete it later for whatever reason.)
Is the layout padding intentional or not? 
Articles frequently include a box for Wikiquote and Commons directly after each other, but they are shown with a small gap between them (unlike for example templates like Navboxes and Authority control and Portal bar which will sit flush unless you deliberately leave a gap). 
Was this layout padding intentional or an oversight? 
Can it be changed?  
(I am aware of Template:sisterlinks that I could use instead, but the basic templates are more straight forward and maybe the chunky spacing was not deliberate so I figured it was at least worth asking.)
