| Template | Use / description |
| ↓ Block quotations | General purpose |
| {{Blockquote}} | Our standard block quotation template: unbordered page-wide quotation with optional smaller-sized attribution |
| {{Break lines}} | Transforms line breaks into <br /> tags. It is very similar to the {{poem}} template, except that it does not invoke the <poem> MediaWiki extension. |
| {{Numbered verses}} | Quote poems showing the verse numbers |
| {{Poem}} | {{Blockquote}} variant for use with poems, song lyrics, and other things that would otherwise require the use of <poem> tags or frequent formatting elements (such as <br />); requires substitution |
| {{Poem quote}} | {{Blockquote}} variant for use with poems, song lyrics, and other things that would otherwise require the use of <poem> tags or frequent formatting elements (such as <br />); does not require substitution |
| {{Poetically break lines}} (shortcut: {{pbl}}) | Designed to format poetry simply and reliably; it differs from {{Poem quote}} in two significant ways: it does not add spacing around the poem for that sets it apart as “block quote”, and it automatically provides hanging indentation when lines are so long that they wrap |
| {{Text and translation}} | Displays original language and translated text, one beside the other |
| {{Verse translation}} | Displays original language verse (defaults to italics) and translated verse (roman) side-by-side |
| {{Verse transliteration-translation}} | Like {{Verse translation}}, but with a transliteration separate from the original version |
| {{Gbq}} | {{Blockquote}} variant for use inside glossaries |
| {{Cquote}} | "centered quote" – Page-wide quote, between large quotation marks |
| {{Rquote}} | "reduced quote" – Quote between large quotation marks in a reduced floating area |
| {{Quote frame}} | Page-wide bordered quote |
| {{Quote box}} | Quote floated in a reduced bordered box |
| {{Tweet}} | For quoting directly from tweets. Automatically generates {{Cite tweet}} citation, or a custom reference can be provided. |
| | |

| {{Talk quote inline}}(shortcut: {{tq}},{{tqq}}, {{tqi}}, or {{tqqi}}) | Inline quotation for use on talk pages |
