This template is only for quotation entries that currently exist on Wikiquote and which, due to previous re-creations, are likely to be re-created in unencyclopedic form. Do not place it on every possible list of quotations. This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopaedic content.

{{wq}} {{subst:longcomment}}
Provides a soft redirect to the Wikiquote page, using the current page's name. Then it also substitutes a {{Longcomment|}} to prevent a page from being listed on Special:Shortpages.
{{wq|{{PAGENAME}}}} {{subst:longcomment}}
Provides a link to the Wikiquote page for the given word.
{{wq|Category:Proverbs|many=yes}}
Used for pages linking to lists or categories on Wikiquote.

Notes:

  1. This template should not be used via substitution in most cases.
  2. This template will categorise tagged articles into Category:Redirects to Wikiquote.
