New Template
Would there be any support in creating a slightly different template for use with Dev Quotes and other non-cutscene text? Perhaps one that has a spot for links for the source of said material? I have found {{Cutscene}} to be less than ideal for that task in the past. Thoughts? —

Like this template here?
Example:

(From {{{source}}}) {{{text}}}

- I can see the potential value for this.
- I would perhaps put a bit more prominence to where they're being quoted from, and when. Tacking it on at the end feels awkward to me. And oftentimes it would be very helpful to know when something was said, but that info gets lost when posts get purged. Quick example:
Zwilinger on the official forums on October 3, 2011Some meme thing or another... All your base?
- You also need to account for the possibility that something might be quoted from a non-online source, such as in person at a conference or from printed media.
-
Zwilinger at San Diego Comic-Con International on July 23, 2011Some meme thing or another... All your base?
- When citing something, you generally include who, when, and where; I feel we'd be amiss if we didn't include all three if we can.
- The other issue with using the superscript link option is that it won't mix well with ref notes. -- Sekoia 13:30, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
Color Choice
If this goes into use... I am curious what colors to make this... — Talk · Cont 13:02, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
- I recommend keeping conversion about this in one place for now, rather than split across two pages. I nearly asked what the purpose of this was until I used "what links here?" to track down the other relevant conversation at Template talk:Cutscene. -- Sekoia 13:25, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
