Template talk:Talk quote block

Edit of 30 May 2012

I believe that this edit broke the template, see WT:N#Proposal to remove "and list" from a sentence in the lede of WP:N, which has two examples where the background has been reduced to a single line, and the text is now pushed down onto the second line without a background color.  Unscintillating (talk) 00:31, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

I have reverted my previous edit. Both edits discussed at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Two paragraphs in wikitext rendered as one. The wikitext parser gets confused when the closing blockquote tag does not start on a new line if the template is called with a wikilist (and no final newline) in the calling parameter. — Richardguk (talk) 01:37, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

oldid/newid

Is it possible to accommodate a diff with both oldid and newid parameters for instances where an editor posts a comment and then makes corrections/edits to their comment, so that the link can show the final version was posted by the quoted user? Currently, there's only provision for the oldid so you have to choose between specifying the first edit (which does not reflect the final version that the editor intended) or the last one (which only shows the last edit marked up). —sroc 💬 02:36, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Well, it is possible to use the diff= parameter to give the URL of a diff, so you can to link to any diff you like. For example:

The timestamp links to a diff that includes both your comment and a post from an earlier commenter on this page. 02:36, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Here's the code: {{talkquote|...|ts=02:36, 27 February 2014 (UTC)|diff=//en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Template_talk:Talkquote&diff=597315913&oldid=495219808}} – PartTimeGnome (talk | contribs) 22:15, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Perfect. Thanks! —sroc 💬 15:11, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

RfC: Change the TQ template font colour

There is an RfC at Template talk:Tq#RfC: Change the TQ template font colour proposing the change the formatting of both {{tq}} and {{talkquote}} to unify their format/colours and distinguish from the colour of the {{xt}} template. Comments would be most welcome there. —sroc 💬 18:42, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Contents

Am I doing something wrong here? For some reason the contents box is recognizing my talkquote sections as headings in the page itself. But it only does it for the first talkquote and not the second. I'm confused.

Also, while I'm already here. Is there a reason spans nuke a talkquote? Is there additional markup needed to use a span within a talkquote? TimothyJosephWood 14:57, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Play nice with ordered and unordered lists

• Lorem ipsum

Is there a way to get this template to function when used at the beginning of a list item? For instance * {{talkquote|Lorem ipsum}} will turn the bullet (or number) into a regular indent, rather than showing the bullet/number. It's fine if you put something between the bullet and template, but it'd be nice if it didn't need the hack.  czar 23:05, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Color

It'd be nice to have a few different color options—say blue/red/yellow—in lieu of just the green when comparing quotes czar 22:24, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

• Template:Talkquote → Template:Talk quote block
• Template:Talk quotation → Template:Talk quote inline

— Rationale: I have never once remembered which of these templates is the block and which is inline. Moving the templates (and keeping the redirects) would make it easier for editors to save those extra few seconds of brainpower without adversely affecting editors with a better memory than mine.

Note: If this gains consensus, I would anticipate that

• {{talkquote}} and its aliases {{talk quote}} and {{tq2}} would be updated to point directly to Template:Talk quote block
• {{talk quotation}} and its aliases {{tq}} and {{tqi}} would be updated to point directly to Template:Talk quote inline
• The navbox {{Quotation templates}} would be updated to refer to the new names

Documentation updated

I noticed that Template:Talk quote inline/doc had been updated to reflect the new canonical name ({{Talk quote inline}}), but Template:Talk quote block/doc had not, and still referred to the template as {{talkquote}}. Should be all fixed up now. -- FeRDNYC (talk) 06:36, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Colors don't preview in Visual Editor

I noticed that when this template is used with the Visual Editor (even in wikitext source mode), the background coloring doesn't show up in the "Show preview" rendering. Presumably this is due to the use of Template Styles, specifically Template:Talk quote block/styles.css. Regardless the reason, it's still fairly disconcerting. Is there any way we could get the styles to be applied correctly in the preview? -- FeRDNYC (talk) 06:49, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Quoted URLs with query strings break the template

I'm having trouble quoting URLs that contain query strings, like: http://example.com/over/there?name=ferret

This is particularly a problem when quoting Wikipedia diff URLs, like: https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:IamNotU/sandbox&diff=904787385&oldid=904785977

For example, this:

{{tq2| This here article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1927_Chicago_mayoral_election }}

Shows up ok as:

This here article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1927_Chicago_mayoral_election

While this:

{{tq2| This here diff: https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:IamNotU/sandbox&diff=904787385&oldid=904785977 }}

Doesn't display at all:

The same goes if I use square brackets for the URLs. Am I doing something wrong? As a workaround, I used:

{{tq2| This here diff: [[Special:Diff/904785977/904787385|https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:IamNotU/sandbox&diff=904787385&oldid=904785977]] }}

Which displays ok, though it's inconvenient and looks different (doesn't have the external link pointer):

This here diff: https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:IamNotU/sandbox&diff=904787385&oldid=904785977

Can this be fixed? --IamNotU (talk) 15:12, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
