Template:Over-quotation
 | This article contains too many or overly lengthy quotations for an encyclopedic entry. (December 2025) |
Template documentationUsage
This template should not be substituted.
If there are too many or overly lengthy quotations in a given article, paste this at the top of the article in question:
{{Over-quotation|date=December 2025}}
It takes a numbered or unnumbered first parameter as a substitute for the word "article", e.g. |section. Using |section=yes or |section=y will also output the specific word "section".
Like all other cleanup templates, it accepts |date=December 2025 or |{{subst:DATE}}.
For more specific wording, |many=y limits the complaint to too many quotations, while |lengthy=y limits it to overly lengthy quotations.
When an article uses both too many and overly lengthy quotations, use neither parameter, or explicitly use |both=y (trying |many=y|lengthy=y will suppress, not show, both).
Notes
