Halopedia:Standards Council of Halopedia/Legislative Branch/Standards/Quotes Standard

Proposed Standard
Individual quotes used at the start of a section or article can make it look much nicer and more interesting, but quote sections detract from the quality of an article. At the same time, they are things that people enjoy looking at. To balance these concerns between good quality and interesting, we have the Quoting standards:


 * 1) Quote sections should not be on an article's page. Instead, quote sections should be moved to a separate page (/Quotes) and leave a link on the main page using the Quotes Link template
 * 2) Singular quotes used to give context to a section in an article or the article itself should be made using the Quote template.

Comments/Discussion
There's already Template:Quotes Link, as well as your newer Template:Quotes Available - I much prefer the design of the new template, but which name should we use? (I'll redirect the other one). Thanks, Rec  lai  mer   simon   r  j  h 07:48, 20 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Perhaps something simple like Template:Quotes would work best? --Dragonc laws (talk ) 18:03, 21 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Main problem I have with that is that it then becomes easy to confuse with Template:Quote - otherwise I would've picked it while drafting --forgottenlord 13:38, 22 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Maybe, it can be called something like Template:Standard's Quotes might work. I am not really sure but its worth a try. I hope this have helped :) --XtremeSpartan117, 16:47, 22 September 2008 (UTC)


 * No. The name should be descriptive of its purpose, not who or why it was created. --forgottenlord 13:38, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * And add a end-bold tag to your sig --forgottenlord 13:44, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I vote for "Quotes Link". --Dragonc laws (talk ) 23:33, 22 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Let's use Quotes Link, then --forgottenlord 01:20, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

As we have ten votes in favor and none in opposition, I'll mark this as having been passed. --Dragonc laws (talk ) 07:35, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
