Instead, quotations are normally read either as collections in a category (with [[Template:Quotes]]) or inserted in text (with other templates.) [[Template:Quote]] automatically places quotes in two categories: [[:Category:Quotations]] and a category for the base page. Other categories should be manually inserted. If there is a choice between the subpage of a source versus the subpage of a person, choose the former. As many subject categories as wanted can be added. |
