Check out the main Wiki page now and you will see a new feature: http://www.sw-fans.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

Quote of the Day! This is something I have shamelessly aped from Wookieepedia, but why the hell not? I'm still playing around with the code and basically test-running it for now, but if it turns out to be something people like, it will stick around.

If you'd like to contribute a future Quote of the Day, you can either:

a) Send it to me in a Private Message, or...
b) Add it yourself by visiting the Archive (http://www.sw-fans.net/wiki/index.php?title=SW-Fans:Quote_of_the_Day/Archive), selecting one of the dates that appears in red text ('blue' dates already have a quote) and then use the following templates:

http://www.sw-fans.net/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Quote - bog standard quote
http://www.sw-fans.net/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Quoteurl - if you want to link the quote to a thread on the forums
http://www.sw-fans.net/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Dialogue - dialogue with 2 lines
http://www.sw-fans.net/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Dialogueurl - same as above, but linking the dialogue to a thread on the forums
http://www.sw-fans.net/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Dialogue2 - dialogue with 3 lines
http://www.sw-fans.net/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Dialogue3 - dialogue with 4 lines
http://www.sw-fans.net/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Dialogue4 - dialogue with 5 lines

Quotes don't have to be pieces of dialogue - they could also be parts of a post that you found amusing, dramatic or otherwise entertaining. Any confusions or questions, feel free to ask in this here thread. Otherwise, have fun quoting and self-promoting!

Is two lines of dialogue the maximum, or can we continue repeating the |Name|Text|Name|Text|Name|Text|Context pattern for more lines than that?

I think you can have more than two lines of dialogue, yes. Try it and find out ;)

EDIT: Turns out I need to upload more templates for ^ to work, but I'll do that now so you can have more than two lines :)

Added links to quote/dialogue templates in the first post.

Including that extra day in June (31st). I thought June only had 30 days? ;)

Apparently in the world of wikis, there are 31 days in each month :lol

Good job noticing that. Oh well, I will just move the June 31st quote to another day ^_^;

I'm bumping this because I want to start it again and I don't know how!

I removed the template from the front page because it was very difficult to keep up to date - realistically you need hundreds and hundreds of quotes already stored up, or to have someone willing to add a new quote everyday.

Aug 11th, 2010, 12:06:32 PM
Well I'm willing to add some quotes! Or, lots.

You should throw in some quotes from Hell :p

Here is a quote that you can use.

Eat Right, Stay Fit, Die Anyway!

or my favorite that got me in trouble at work.

The Fish Stinks from the Head Down!

Quotes from roleplays :p not just quotes in general!

Oh I'll work those in to my sims.

I have one going where I might be able to talk to the Empress.... Sounds like a good place to throw in quote #2.

Alright, if you want to add some from now through until you get bored, I'll stick the template on the front page again :mneh

I'd forgotten about this!

I need to remember to add quotes whenever one makes me chuckle. :uhoh

Also remember to add 'Template' to the start of the page name, whenever you add/save a new quote :)
