This template is fucked

You can't use any links in the quote or source, very hard to use. Ty-cmeal 15:23, 3 December 2011 (CET)

   
 
# "If a parameter value contains an equals sign, the parameter name must be declared explicitly." This means that if you want to include a URL in your quote, and if that URL contains an equals sign, then you must explicitly declare the parameter. All that means is that you should add "1=", "2=", or "3=", as appropriate, ahead of your quote text, speaker, or source, like this: {{quote|1=Quote text|2=Person|3=Source|color=silver|size=360%}}
 

 
 

from the template, equals signs in the url can mess this up.

care to elaborate? were you trying to use a URL with "=" in it? -hipcrime 16:58, 3 December 2011 (CET)

I just realized that there are a ton of things about my Amazon, shield maiden, rich guy "story" that people have no way of knowing. Didn't really occur to me before people started asking questions.

1) The rich guy was one of those asshole'ish rich people who did whatever the hell he wanted, such as torture, r.ape , and death. That's why he has the classic "evil dude" hair and moustache. It's very likely that it was some of his employees who let the Amazon capture him.

2) The Amazon and the shield maiden are supposed to be traveling back to the Amazon's home town.

3) The shield maiden is married to one of the "naked warriors" (who aren't quite naked) from that older picture of mine (I'll draw them together later). She's not needed at home though because her people have slaves to do most of the work. Neither is she expected to stay faithful to her husband because their culture is inspired Viking culture where neither husband or wife were expected to be faithful, and where all children they had with other people were still considered legitimate.

4) Shield maiden would never have sex with a slave because, like in Viking culture, in her culture women are considered to be of "higher class" than men, and should therefore never have sex with a man of much lower class then her, only of higher status. Only men can have sex with slaves, but not with women of higher status than them.

5) The whole thing takes place in a fantasy universe, so while I use as much as I can from old myths, the Amazon is not Greek (Greece doesn't even exist in this universe) and the shield maiden is not a Viking, nor is her husband.

That's the main questions I can remember right now
 


 
 

{{quote|Hello, world!|maxWidth=100%}}

Added a maxWidth parameter. I am reviewing articles to make sure this didn't break anything. With some quotes max-width:50em; just doesn't look right. That TL;DR quote now stretches to the width of the page.

Center

Default

   
 
Nothing wrong here.
 

 
 


   
 
This quote isn't centered properly. The image to the right is the problem.
 

 
 

Fixed with center=relative

   
 
This quote is centered properly because center=relative is set.
 

 
 

Testing

Thumbnails left and right.
 

 
 


   
 
No thumbnail.
 

 
 


Notes

Snapshot demonstrates the problem.

Quotes that are not centered properly irritate me. Noticed {{collapsegallery}} doesn't have this problem. Seems that is because {{collapsegallery}} uses <table align="center"> and {{quote}} doesn't. If you set center=relative then <table align="center"> is used instead of <center> to center the quote. Could have used css but <table align="center"> is the most compatible way to accomplish this. 22:33, 24 May 2013 (EDT)

awesome. :) -hipcrime 09:34, 8 June 2013 (EDT)
