Template:Over-quotation
Usage
This template should not be substituted.
If there are too many or overly lengthy quotations in a given article, paste this at the top of the article in question:
{{Over-quotation|date=December 2024}}
It takes a numbered or unnumbered first parameter as a substitute for the word "article", e.g. |section
. Using |section=yes
or |section=y
will also output the specific word "section".
Like all other cleanup templates, it accepts |date=December 2024
or |{{subst:DATE}}
.
For more specific wording, |many=y
limits the complaint to too many quotations, while |lengthy=y
limits it to overly lengthy quotations.
When an article uses both too many and overly lengthy quotations, use neither parameter, or explicitly use |both=y
(trying |many=y
|lengthy=y
will suppress, not show, both).
Notes
