Quote templates for normal-style characters?
We created {{homsarquote}} to placate users who couldn't settle on just one for the Homsar page. It's grown substantially, but it's remained manageable because Homsar doesn't really have that many appearances, relatively speaking, and so we can put everything he says on a page. We then added {{cardgagequote}} and {{whalequote}} because they're in the same vein: characters that we don't see often and spout non sequiturs. On the other hand, I think a quote template for a normal-style character, especially the character that dominates the site, is not a good idea. Assuming just three or four gems per appearance (which for some toons is probably a very low figure), Strong Bad has literally said thousands of funny lines. We couldn't possibly hope to contain them all in a such a template, nor should we try. — It's dot com 04:03, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
