{{tlx|Quote}} adds a [[Wikipedia:block quotation|block quotation]] to an article page.
This is easier to type and is more wiki-like than the equivalent [[Wikipedia:HTML|HTML]] {{code|lang=html|code=<blockquote>...</blockquote>}} tags, and has additional pre-formatted attribution parameters for author and source (though these are not usually used in articles; {{crossref|see {{section link||Reference citations}}, below}}).
'''Note:''' Block quotes do {{em|not}} normally contain quotation marks {{crossref|(see [[Wikipedia:MOS:BLOCKQUOTE|MOS:BLOCKQUOTE]])}}.
{{warning|heading=This template is for actual quotations only.|text=Do not use it for block indentation of other material; see {{tlx|Block indent}} for that purpose.}}
