thread_title:  Rquote is broken (Redirected to Template:Quotebox) 

message: For users with less than 1024×768 resolution (e.g. 800×600), rquote boxes become too narrow, fitting only a couple of words on each line, and pushing excessively downward.  It would be good if we could at the least add a min-width of 200 pixels or so, to prevent this problem.  But frankly, the template should just in general have a fixed width, to avoid bad formatting on both wide and narrow displays.  --jacobolus (t) 21:25, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  Please remove the transparent background.  The requester has not stated any rational and the forced white background in monobook is to hide the lines when tables cross headings.

message: I'm aware that this template was abused, in fact, I've removed uses of it in a number of places. I think I did use it correctly, as a pull quote in Kamie_Ethridge.
However, the visual appearance has changed. It used to be much larger font. Did something get changed when it was recently moved? I don't see any recent edits, other than the move. I'd like to restore the old functionality, or figure out how to fix the use in this article.S Philbrick(Talk) 17:24, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

message: Could someone add "line-height: 1em;" to both of the quotation mark table cells so that the the line-height matches the font-size. This should make the formatting less broken-looking for single-line quotes. Kaldari (talk) 17:29, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

text: I’ve just done some editing in the sandbox… all I did was change the wikitable to a div, and the middle table cell to a blockquote, using the same respective inline CSS for each, so the presentation probably needs some tweaking. And I left out the decorative quotation marks, figuring those could be added with CSS pseudo-elements. But at least the content’s right. So, is that usable? —174.141.182.82 (talk) 16:35, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Documentation also needs to be changed. The part showing the large quotes is not in the /doc page, it is integrated into the body of the template I guess. IMO there's no need to have the documentation show the large quotes depending on namespace, since AFAIK use outside of article space is limited to the Signpost and very few other places.

thread_title: Requested edit

message: Number one, somebody added a blue line to the left of the quote. I believe this was added on May 6 2020 by User:Izno. The edit summary was "per tper" whatever that means. There was clear consensus to remove decoration for the template and make it identical to the HTML blockquote tag. Unless there's a different discussion you can point to. Objectively, I don't like and previous discussion have show only a tepid approval of the line option.  
Number two, could you fix the documentation which has the long-deprecated quote marks. It's wrong and misleading. That part I could do, but prefer not to mess with template elements at all. Thanks. Also both of the above may apply to  also.
