Template:Quote box

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

Adds a box for talk pages of pages that are not well-suited for new editors (these are typically high-traffic, complex, controversial, or a combination of the above), gently suggesting they may want to edit elsewhere to avoid getting bitten. It should be placed as the last message box before the table of contents, so that it appears alongside it.
