New Use
I have recently taken to using this as if it took an anonymous argument, as a way of "commenting out" excess verbiage: "He went to the foo and barred." This allows us to preserve the original text of the quotation -- in case other users ever need to refer to it -- without bogging down the visible entry text in non-illustrative gunk. I thought I should mention this here in case someone was actually thinking of adding an anonymous arg, which would conflict with this. -- Visviva 07:01, 31 January 2009 (UTC)


 * That is brilliant. I'm going to start doing that as well. —Amit TALK 06:57, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Oh, did the brackets display unitalicised before my change? Sorry about that, I didn't take that into consideration. My change can (hopefully temporarily?) be reverted, as I presume instances of ... inside links (currently afaik only in lutra) are way less numerous that the instances in italic text.

 * yes, this is an issue that has been around for a while but we have yet to resolve. — Sgconlaw (talk) 11:22, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Well I added this to my CSS, and it worked. It could be added to the global CSS. Not sure if it's the best solution. Catonif (talk) 08:50, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
