Usage
- There are two parameters. The first is the quotation itself. The second is the source, if known (optional).
- You should not put quotation marks around the quote. This template acts as a block quote to separate it from the text instead.
- The template will automatically put the source into a reference format. If using it, make sure the page has a references section, i.e. a section with the code: <references/> or {{reflist}}.
{{Jimboquote|What Jimbo said|Where he said it}}
