Usage

• You should not put quotation marks around the quote. This template acts as a Pull quote to separate it from the text instead.
• NOTE: This template should not be used for Block quote in article text. For long quotations in the text, the Manual of Style recommends using the HTML <Blockquote> element, such as through the use of the {{Quote}} template.
• {{Quotation|Clunk mouse colored mauve. Bully other rodents, stealing the cheese rapid. Police mice catch crook squeak video prime time TV show. Juror mouse frown XXXX1.|Whoever said it|Source of the quote}}

produces:

Clunk mouse colored mauve. Bully other rodents, stealing the cheese rapid. Police mice catch crook squeak video prime time TV show. Juror mouse frown XXXX1.

– Whoever said it, Source of the quote

• {{Quotation|Your text|Author||from "Short Story", in ''Anthology'' (2012)}}

produces the following (notice the || to skip the italicized parameter):

Your text

– Author, from "Short Story", in Anthology (2012)

The equal sign (=)

If any of the parameters include an equal sign, this will make the template not recognize the parameter properly. To fix this the parameter needs to be prefixed with "1=", "2=", etc. depending on which of the templates parameter's this applies to.
