Adding quotes
Hello! Here's how to add quotes to this template:
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page and look for:
<!-- ADD QUOTES ABOVE THIS. AFTER ADDING A NEW QUOTE, SET THE NUMBER AFTER "MOD" TO THE NUMBER OF QUOTES PLUS 1 -->
- Read this, and put quotes above that using this formatting:
| (number) = Quote
- Remember to keep the indent!
- Do not repeat numbers!
- Scroll up to the top and find:
{{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod QUOTESNUMBER}}
- Then change "QUOTESNUMBER" to the highest current quote
- Your quote will not be displayed if you do not do this
What not to add:
- Quotes from people besides Daniel
- Fake quotes
- While you don't have to cite sources, it is very much recommended
- Quotes that say slurs at all, even if censored, this is explicitly against the wiki guidelines
- Remember this is being displayed on the front page when adding quotes
