## Instructions

`{{Quote|dialogue|attribution|source}}`

`dialogue`
this is where the actual quote text goes. To create a linebreak, use the following formatting: `''"<br />"''` For quotes with more than two speakers, use {{Dialogue}} instead.
`attribution`
a short description of the speakers, and additional context if needed. Not followed by a full stop and should only contain links if the subjects cannot be linked elsewhere in the article.
`source`
a reference (footnote) formatted the same way as anywhere else in the article. See Wookieepedia:Sourcing for more help.
For general rules concerning quotations on Wookieepedia, please see the Manual of Style.

### Optional parameters

`|quotestart=0`
removes the quotation sign (") from the start of the quote. Formerly `|noquote=1`.
`|quoteend=0`
removes the quotation sign (") from the end of the quote. Formerly `|trans=1`.
`|translated=1`
replaces the standard quotation signs with « » for translated quotes. This replaces the {{Quotetrans}} template.
`|italics=0`
removes the italics around the quote
`|formatting=0`
removes all formatting from the quote; essentially the same as `|quotestart=0|quoteend=0|italics=0`
`|audio=AudioFile.ogg`
adds a link to an audio version of the quote. Do not include the file prefix.
