Template talk:LoreQuote

Thought I'd throw this together. It may be useful if we ever want to change the formatting for Lore quotes at some point. Or have them automagically add in the category. I don't see us going through all the old ones by hand though. I may look into a bot to do this... Someday... Fenyx4 16:38, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Dropping Quotes
I don't like the dropping of the quotes and changing to italics. It causes the name of the book and name of the game to blend. I understand why it was done for consistency but readability is important too. Looking at citation they don't typically follow the same rules as the body of the text. I don't think our quote lines have to either. But if it is deemed necessary to keep it italicized for consistency then some other way to offset the game title from the book title needs to be figured out. -- Fenyx4 04:46, July 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree. We just have to agree to something and put it on the Style Guide. The options I see:
 * Make an exception for LoreQuotes, where books use quotes instead of italics. The rest remains the same.
 * Make an exception for LoreQuotes, where books use something else to make it more readable. The rest remains the same.
 * Choose to make every book in the wiki use quotes instead of italics. It goes against the idea that was put in the Style Guide and is not the same guidelines used in Wikipedia, but it is a valid choice.
 * I am ok with the first or second option (though the second option is still vague). It leaves everything less consistent, but it's not thaaat bad. The third one is less consistent as a whole (though it creates consistency between book name formats), I think, and I'd prefer one of the others. Let's ask everybody what they think?--Sega381 14:39, July 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Copied the discussion to Forum:Use of italics and quotes for proper names to see if more responses would appear there.--Sega381 04:25, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

No more links
In an effort to reduce the size of Special:WantedPages, I was wondering if it's possible for Template:LoreQuote to not throw up links to pages that don't exist. It is unlikely we'd ever make a wikia article for every in-game book that is quoted, not would I think we'd want to if the book is already quoted in the relevant section. 01:29, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * This was brought up before. Sadly it is a limitation of the parser extension/Mediawiki. I do stand by what I said before though. I rather like that they show up in the wanted pages as it does put some pressure on us to create the article. Perhaps all the article would be is a redirect to a list of all in game books but that would still be useful to have. -- Fenyx4 03:40, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Indentation
I added :: to the template. I think it helps distinguish the quotes on pages where several of them exist. Thoughts? -- Metaneira (talk) 15:40, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
