Template:Quote/doc

This template is used to display a quotation from a person or source, or a character from one of the games. A style similar is used to the in-game subtitles of the second game. It also supports an optional image or portrait beside it. This template may be used anywhere within an article, but preferably at the top or bottom of a page or section.

It's best to put the quote text between  tags, if it contains special characters like the pipe, curly braces  or equals-sign. Alternatively, for the pipe the magic word may be used instead for convenience, and for the equals sign the = formatting template.

Parameters

 * 1) or quote: The quote from the person, source or game character. No need to add quotation marks, as these are a part of the template (case sensitive)
 * 2) The person or source the quote is from, or if also using character, some custom text after the character name (optional, case sensitive)
 * character: The game character that the quote is from. This should be an article from Category:Characters and will be linked automatically (optional, case sensitive)
 * subject: The subject that the quote is about (optional, case sensitive)
 * image: A (portrait) image to show next to the quote (optional, case sensitive)
 * compact: Render the quote box in compact mode, which uses simplified styles and ignores the image (optional, any non-empty value will activate compact mode)

The following parameters are most relevant when quoting a game character (but not required), and optionally specify a location that the game-specific quote originates from:
 * building: The name of the building or area, which will be linked automatically (optional, case sensitive)
 * island: The name of the island, which will be linked automatically (optional, case sensitive, specify in conjunction with planet, see Template:Island link)
 * planet: The name of the planet or planet stage, which will be linked automatically (optional, case insensitive, specify in conjunction with island, see Template:Planet link)

The following parameter is specifically relevant when quoting a game character (but not required), and optionally specifies the quote to link to from the external quote database:
 * quoteid: The id of the quote in the external quote database, currently here (positive numeric, optional, see gamequote)
