Editing User:Pharap/Wiki Improvement Proposals (section)

==== Implementation ====

This proposal could be implemented by simply adding <code><nowiki>{{#if:{{{quote|}}}| "{{{quote}}}"|}}</nowiki></code> to the existing template, such that it becomes:

<pre><nowiki>
{{{author}}}. ''{{{journal-nolink|[[{{{journal-page|Reference:{{{author}}}, {{{journal}}}}}}|{{{journal}}}]]}}}''. {{{game-nolink|[[{{{game-page|{{{game}}}}}}|{{{game}}}]]}}}.{{#if:{{{quote|}}}| "{{{quote}}}"|}}<noinclude>{{documentation}}</noinclude>
</nowiki></pre>

The documentation for the template could be ammended with:

<pre><nowiki>
"quote":
{
	"label": "Quote",
	"description": "A selected quote from the referenced journal. The chosen quote should be relevant to the article content that makes use of the citation. If omitted, no quote is included in the reference.",
	"example": "They have named it \"Tay\"",
	"type": "string"
}
</nowiki></pre>

As well as the addition of <code>"quote"</code> to the end of the <code>paramOrder</code> array.

Note: In regards to enforcing that nested quotes use a different style, I don't believe templates alone are capable of text replacement that sophisticated, though it's possible they support some sort of regex-replacement feature that I'm unaware of at the time of writing. To support such a feature would, I believe, require a Lua module. I haven't researched that as I'm presuming it won't be an issue, but should it be an issue I have sufficient experience with Lua and parsing that I'm confident I could make a good go of it.
