Module talk:quote

Issue with /
Hi,, these parameters just stopped working. — SGconlaw (talk) 19:29, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

OK, think you've fixed it. Thanks. — SGconlaw (talk) 19:33, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Yup. I was experimenting trying to reduce memory usage and accidentally committed some test code. Benwing2 (talk) 19:34, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

Turning maintenance messages into errors
Last night I turned off the test code that was using the old implementation in Template:quote-meta/source; now, the output of the Lua code is being used. I'm thinking of turning some maintenance messages into errors to make it more likely that people will notice the problems. I think I fixed all the existing pages that would trigger these issues. In particular, I'm thinking of making the following cases be errors: Thoughts? Benwing2 (talk) 19:41, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) Omitting the lang.
 * 2) Specifying both date and year.
 * 3) Specifying archiveurl without archivedate.
 * 4) Specifying archiveurl without url.
 * That sounds fine to me. — SGconlaw (talk) 19:44, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm also thinking of implementing trans-* for authors, which should be easy now that the code is in Lua and won't require any change to the top-level templates Template:quote-book, Template:quote-journal, etc. Benwing2 (talk) 19:42, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Could you elaborate? What would "trans-*" be for? — SGconlaw (talk) 19:44, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
 * For a transl(iter)ation of the author's name into English. In a lot of Russian quotes I ran into this issue, and would typically write Пётр Ильич Чайковский (Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky) where it might be better to write Пётр Ильич Чайковский + Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Note that the transliteration of Russian names into English is often idiosyncratic, e.g. "Tchaikovsky" is the standard transliteration but isn't terribly faithful to the Russian; our standard system would render it as Čajkovskij, and a less scientific system might use Chaykovskiy. (Rachmaninoff is even less accurate.) Benwing2 (talk) 20:40, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. Sure. — SGconlaw (talk) 06:05, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

Error in
Hi,, in the message-id is appearing twice: see the template documentation and  (1994 quotation). — SGconlaw (talk) 16:53, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * This is because Module:quote directly supports the id parameter, and Template:quote-newsgroup also passes the id parameter as part of the section parameter. This probably "worked" before because Template:quote-newsgroup wasn't explicitly passing id to Template:quote-meta/source, but the Lua implementation passes all parameters through automatically unless explicitly overridden. Benwing2 (talk) 23:38, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * So how do we fix that? — SGconlaw (talk) 02:07, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 * It depends on what you want to have happen. You could not pass the section= param in Template:quote-newsgroup, for example. Benwing2 (talk) 05:45, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, OK. I changed section to id. But is there some reason why we want it to appear in a smaller typeface? — SGconlaw (talk) 10:57, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 * It appears in smaller typeface because that's what Template:quote-meta/source does. We can change that if you want. Benwing2 (talk) 17:00, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

Only one of year and date, but only date actually supplied
Odd error in. — Eru·tuon 01:09, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
 * That's because 1 was supplied, which is passed to year by the template. Benwing2 (talk) 17:01, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

Issue with
I noticed an issue with when author and authorlink are used: see  (2010 quotation). — SGconlaw (talk) 16:20, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
 * This might be a similar issue as with ; authorlink is automatically passed through, but the template also passes authorlink as part of author. What might be best is for me to implement a way of having the outer template disable passing a given param through. This would also work for . Benwing2 (talk) 17:05, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I wonder why the issue doesn't arise with or ? — SGconlaw (talk) 17:41, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

Issue with a., c., and p. abbreviations in years
Hi,. Hi, if you have time could you look into the following issue, which seems to be related to this module? If year is preceded by a., c., or p., the module automatically creates a tooltip and a link to entries in "Glossary" explaining that these abbreviations mean ante, circa, and post.

However, I've found that if anything is added after the year, for some reason it gets truncated. Thus, when I added to the following line under the year parameter:


 * Bonduca|The Tragedie of Bonduca = c. 1613 (first performance)&#8203&#59;

what gets displayed (for example, at ) is "c. 1613 (", and everything else is truncated. ( inserts a zero-width space, and is needed so that the bold markup doesn't choke.) I "fixed" this by changing this to " " in the quotation template, but this is not ideal as the abbreviation now appears bold, and the tooltip and link are gone. Any idea what is causing the problem? Thanks. — SGconlaw (talk) 08:56, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Fixed. The issue was the regex in Module:time that removes the initial c., which was written incorrectly so that it removed any lowercase letter and following character rather than just a lowercase letter + following period at the beginning of the string. Benwing2 (talk) 21:22, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
 * great, thank you! — SGconlaw (talk) 05:47, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

2ndauthor
2ndauthor (or 2ndfirst and 2ndlast) and 2ndauthorlink are equivalent to author (or first and last) and authorlink for a new version; what are the equivalent parameters of author2 (or first2 and last2) and authorlink2 (also author3, etc.) for a new version? J3133 (talk) 05:17, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * For simplicity, there aren’t any (that I’m aware of, anyway). Just put them all in 2ndauthor. — SGconlaw (talk) 05:36, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Suppressing a translation
if the language of a work is not English, is there a way (or can you add a way) to suppress the requirement for an English translation to be added? See, a Middle English–Latin dictionary. It doesn't really make sense to call for a translation for this work. — SGconlaw (talk) 18:41, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

#invoke of call_quote_template
I added an interface onto. See for an example. If you write the code the way of this example, it automatically handles text, passage, page, pages, footer and brackets and authorlink (in the last case, not if you explicitly specify authorlink), so you don't have to give them explicitly. There are a few extra arguments you can pass in: This should make it easier for you to write new quotation templates with less boilerplate, and minimize the likelihood of forgetting some boilerplate. I am going to create a similar interface to make it easier to generate quotation template documentation. Benwing2 (talk) 22:23, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) template: Name of template, instead of.
 * 2) textparam: Name of  /  param to use if neither text nor passage are given. Can be a comma-separated list of params; if so, the first such param with a specified value becomes the value of the  /  param. Use - to suppress auto-propagation of text and passage.
 * 3) pageparam: Name of   param to use if page isn't given. Can be a comma-separated list of params; if so, the first such param with a specified value becomes the value of the   param. Use - to suppress auto-propagation of page and pages.
 * 4) propagateparams: Comma-separated list of any additional params to propagate to the quote template, so you don't have to propagate them one-by-one.
 * 5) allowparams: Comma-separated list of parameter to allow, in addition to the ones mentioned above (i.e. text, passage, page, pages, footer and brackets  are automatically allowed, as are the parameters given in textparam, pageparam and propagateparams). This allows for parameter checking; you'll get an error if unrecognized parameters are specified. If the value is , parameter checking is disabled.


 * Ah, I’ll check it out! By the way, could you check that the module is using “https” (for example, for links to WorldCat) where available? Thanks! — SGconlaw (talk) 04:32, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Template:quote-meta/paramdoc
See and example usage in Template:RQ:Pope Essay on Man/documentation. This currently supports the following replaceable params: It's pretty easy to add more replaceable params; you just need to let me know what the text should be. I'm also not sure that page_nolink is useful, and I'm aware that some templates have variant text of various sorts when describing the page/pages params; I'm not sure the best way to handle this. Benwing2 (talk) 00:25, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Text for the page/pages params.
 * Text for the page/pages params where PARAM is an additional synonym.
 * Text for the chapter param when a chapter name should be provided.
 * Text for the chapter param when a chapter name should be provided, where PARAM is an additional synonym.
 * Text for the chapter param when an uppercase Roman numeral chapter number should be provided.
 * Text for the chapter param when an uppercase Roman numeral chapter number should be provided, where PARAM is an additional synonym.
 * Text for the chapter param when an Arabic numeral chapter number should be provided.
 * Text for the chapter param when an Arabic numeral chapter number should be provided, where PARAM is an additional synonym.
 * Text for the text/passage params.
 * Text for the text/passage params where PARAM is an additional synonym.
 * Text for additional params to mention at the end (currently footer and brackets).
 * Also note that tables may not be supported inside of template params; if you run into issues like this, move the table outside the call to . Benwing2 (talk) 00:28, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
 * OK, will check it out. Thanks! — SGconlaw (talk) 04:33, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hope you will mention these on the documentation subpage too. — SGconlaw (talk) 07:25, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Issue with |author=
I think an edit you made to this module means that author no longer permits the wikilinking of authors in the form, which is sometimes needed: see this edit to. — SGconlaw (talk) 17:09, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I made it so that author= is automatically copied to authorlink= if authorlink= isn't explicitly given. Either you can add authorlink= explicitly, or I can change the code to not auto-populate authorlink=. Benwing2 (talk) 03:05, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I think it might be better not to auto-populate that parameter because there are a number of cases where parser functions are used with that parameter as different parts of a work have different authors, and it is more troublesome to have to repeat that coding with authorlink. Alternatively, I wonder if there is a way to auto-populate if that parameter contains a bare author name and nothing else? — SGconlaw (talk) 04:42, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I fixed the auto-population so it doesn't do it if there are links or HTML in the author param. Benwing2 (talk) 05:13, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
 * great! Thanks. — SGconlaw (talk) 05:14, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Issue with |page2= and |pages2=
Hi,, page numbers specified using page2 and pages2 are appearing twice, once incorrectly as part of the original version of the work (which should only display page numbers specified using page and pages), and again correctly as part of the new version of the work: see. — SGconlaw (talk) 17:06, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I think the issue here is that you are propagating page into page2 and pages into pages2, while the module itself auto-propagates page and pages into the same-named underlying params. I added support for - to turn off auto-propagation of page and pages (and similarly - to turn off auto-propagation of text and passage). With this added, the template seems to work properly. Benwing2 (talk) 03:40, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
 * ah, I see. Thanks for the fix. It’s actually not uncommon to propagate page to page2 in cases where the first edition of a work is not available online, and a modern reprint or republication is used in its place. — SGconlaw (talk) 04:53, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
 * If it's common enough, I can turn off auto-propagation of page and pages; but then if you want it propagated, you have to specify this explicitly using pageparam or propagateparams, or directly propagating the params yourself. Benwing2 (talk) 04:55, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I think it’s common enough for this to be turned off by default. The situations where separate page numbers are provided for the older and newer versions of the work are very uncommon, because usually a new version is only used when no old version is accessible online. How would the direct propagation need to be done, and can this all be documented somewhere? (Also, is - needed? There is only one passage quoted in each template.) — SGconlaw (talk) 05:00, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
 * What I mean by direct propagation is writing something like this:

You can also get the same effect like this:

or like this:

Benwing2 (talk) 05:14, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
 * OK, I might take a while to get to grips with this. Just to check, using pageparam doesn’t automatically generate pages? If not, I think I’ve used it wrongly in some templates. — SGconlaw (talk) 05:26, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
 * It doesn't currently propagate pages but I'll make it do so if that helps you. What I can do is make pageparam, if used, propagate page and pages, and in addition convert whichever param or params are specified into page. That way, if you specify 3, for example, it's equivalent to specifying

but if you don't specify pageparam, then neither page nor pages is auto-propagated. Does that make sense to you? BTW I added documentation on to Module:quote/documentation. Benwing2 (talk) 05:30, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
 * page=
 * pages=

Archiveurl and Archivedate
thanks for the edit which makes it unnecessary to specify archivedate if the archive URL is from the Internet Archive. Can I suggest that in those situations the template need not put the entry into “Category:Quotations using archiveurl without archivedate”? I think the category should be retained in case other archive websites are used. Also, would it be possible to update so that it works the same way to Module:quote? However, it hasn’t been “Lua-ified” yet. — Sgconlaw (talk) 21:44, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

 * @Fish bowl Sorry, I missed this. Try using the  prefix; the   prefix doesn't do script detection because Wikipedia codes may not be valid for Wiktionary. See Template:quote-book/documentation. Possibly I should make this smarter so that it knows which language codes are the same in Wikipedia and Wiktionary and does automatic script detection for those.

Year is repeated with different months

 * It was making the publication date appear in an odd year-month-day format in the middle of the citation. I didn’t even know this parameter had been added to the module. If it’s only used in the middle of the citation, perhaps it should be changed to use a day-month-year format. — Sgconlaw (talk) 13:22, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

|archiveurl= not working properly with
this module had been updated by Ioaxxere so it is not necessary to use url if archiveurl contains an Internet Archive Wayback Machine URL, but this doesn't seem to be working for —see the noun section of, where the 2004 quotation under sense 2 is throwing a Lua error. — Sgconlaw (talk) 21:20, 15 March 2024 (UTC)


 * @Sgconlaw This seems to be a different error. The change by @Ioaxxere was for archivedate vs. archiveurl, but this is for archiveurl vs. url. What should the behavior be? Benwing2 (talk) 21:34, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * ah, sorry. I meant url. It shouldn't be necessary to use both that parameter and archiveurl if the latter contains an IA Wayback Machine URL—at least that's how it works for . — Sgconlaw (talk) 21:39, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * oh, I know what the problem is. The IA link is not to the Wayback Machine after all, which has URLs in the format https://web.archive.org/web/20240313154607/https://www.theguardian.com/guardian-observer-style-guide-t, but it is to the text section which has URLs in the format https://archive.org/details/transgender-warriors-making-history-from-joan-of-arc-to-dennis-rodman-feinberg-leslie-1949/Lavender_and_Red/page/n8/mode/1up. However, because of this, there isn't any separate value which can be given to url. I suppose that in a case like this I should just specify the IA URL under url. — Sgconlaw (talk) 22:28, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Stopping automatic linking of author to Wikipedia article if none exists
when author is used, is there a way to prevent the module from trying to link to a Wikipedia article about an author when none exists? — Sgconlaw (talk) 19:01, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

just flagging this up as an issue again—hope you can look into it when you are free. See, for example, what happens with the entry at "Quotations/Templates/English S". — Sgconlaw (talk) 16:09, 15 April 2024 (UTC)


 * @Sgconlaw Sorry I didn't realize this is still an issue; sometimes it's not clear to me what is or isn't fixed. I will take a look shortly. Benwing2 (talk) 19:12, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @Sgconlaw It looks like this is happening in because that function automatically copies author to authorlink in most circumstances. I fixed it so that it won't do this if an embedded HTML-encoded left bracket  is present, but in general you can disable this by adding a blank param authorlink to the call to . Benwing2 (talk) 21:06, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * thanks. So, just to clarify, if there is no need to mark up the author's name in any way, but just to stop the template from incorrectly linking to a non-existent Wikipedia article, I should type the following? (I am thinking it might be better to put a comment, otherwise another editor might come along and remove the authorlink parameter.)
 * |author = Joe Bloggs
 * |authorlink =
 * Alternatively, would it be a good idea to allow editors to type - to suppress the attempted linking? — Sgconlaw (talk) 21:27, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

support cite- template formatting
Over at Module:User:JeffDoozan/quote, I have a fork of this module where I've added support for the citation formatting used by the cite- templates. I've tested the patched module with all of the existing quote- calls to verify that the output of is identical to this module and I've reviewed the differences between output of the original cite- templates and that produced by the new module (see User:JeffDoozan/cite-book/tests, User:JeffDoozan/cite-web/tests, User:JeffDoozan/cite-journal/tests,  User:JeffDoozan/cite-av/tests,  User:JeffDoozan/cite-song/tests and User:JeffDoozan/cite-newsgroup/tests for a sample of each). I'd like to merge those changes into this module and switch the existing cite- templates to use this module. I've tried to make the changes as clean as possible by adding export.cite_t as the primary interface for cite- templates and adding a  flag to   and , but I'd appreciate any comments on the quality of the new code or differences in the old/new cite template outputs. JeffDoozan (talk) 18:02, 10 April 2024 (UTC)


 * @JeffDoozan I took a look at your code, and as far as I can tell the approach is correct. The use of the flag rather than just forking the whole thing is definitely the right approach; otherwise we'd have to maintain two versions, which would inevitably get out of sync. You should test the code to make sure it still generates quotations correctly; I have a whole bunch of calls to quote-* in User:Benwing2/test-quote that exercise different parts of the module, which might help. If everything checks out, I would support merging these changes into the production module (BTW the production module includes some recent optimizations by User:Theknightwho).

 * Oh one thing I forgot ... what about invalid parameters? I'm sure there are a zillion of them collectively for all the cite templates, unless you've somehow cleaned them all up. Benwing2 (talk) 03:29, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the tests, looks like everything matches: User:JeffDoozan/test-quote. I've cleaned up many of the invalid parameters, and the rest are handled in  by wrapping everything with   and then falling back to the old template and adding a maintenance category in case of errors. Once this is in production and the categories fill up, I'll clean up the remaining invalid parameters and remove the   JeffDoozan (talk) 13:57, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, the switching-over of the cite templates to use Module:quote has inadvertently created line-break issues—see footnotes 4 and 5 in the "References" section of. Seems like there's a redundant carriage return after the reference. (I recall that this happens with the quote templates too, but with them perhaps this behaviour is correct.) — Sgconlaw (talk) 19:09, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I reverted the changes to cite-web while I track down the errant carriage return (it's the only widely-used template that I've converted so far). JeffDoozan (talk) 19:18, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅ it was an HTML issue, using a div tag instead of a span. JeffDoozan (talk) 19:30, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

I noticed that the display of the external link in R:GDoS (which uses cite-web) recently changed and I think it might be related to your recent changes in the module (I might be wrong). I've now the reference template to match the earlier format but other templates may also be affected. Einstein2 (talk) 23:03, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Issues with templates
Hi,, in the following use of , I've noticed that the colon after the page numbers which introduces the quoted text is missing:



Also, dates like "May 2024" and "23 May 2024" are still being displayed in a reverse-fashion as "2024 May" and "2024 May 23" which I think is inappropriate for references. I think these should be changed back to the original format. Thanks. — Sgconlaw (talk) 17:46, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

 * The quotation category (Category:LANG terms with quotations) should not be added to references (using “cite-” templates), which is the case currently if a passage is included. I have unsuccessfully tried to remove it in three edits. J3133 (talk) 16:29, 9 June 2024 (UTC)


 * @J3133 OK, I'll take a look. Benwing2 (talk) 18:51, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * yes, I’ve just noticed that adding references to entries using the  templates, which now work off the Module:quote backend, adds the entries to “Category:Undetermined terms with quotations” when no language is specified for the references (which would usually be the case). I’m not sure this is useful. — Sgconlaw (talk) 02:25, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @J3133 I've removed the per-language categorization for citations. JeffDoozan (talk) 15:44, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

 * I think introduced the bug. Could you please take a look at it? Einstein2 (talk) 23:40, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

running code through a formatter
Looks like you ran the code through some sort of automated formatter. In the future can you not do this until/unless you get consensus? I don't agree with many of the changes, which introduced a ton of unnecessary vertical space. Benwing2 (talk) 03:32, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
