The majority of the current demonstration/testing for this template is happening on Template:Quotebox/quotes. Experimentation with methods for constructing the /quotes pages and/or random quotation banks is taking place on Template:Quotebox/quotes/sandbox. Here are all the subpages. Quote multi was also developed for dialogue, and should probably be renamed to quote dialogue. Quote list/quotelist needs to be developed for the list of quotations on, for example, a character or episode article.

Ideas

 * Have options for using the template in different ways.
 *   for a random quotation from that page's list.
 *   for a quote from Grog Strongjaw/quotes.
 *   for a pre-defined quotation box with a user-supplied quotation/source pair.
 * hidequotes (any text will activate hiding of the quotation marks)
 * align (choose the alignment of the box)
 * width (defaults to 75% of the space available without overlapping other flex boxes; can be set absolutely (e.g., 250px) or relatively (e.g., 50% or 15em))
 * format-area (set margin, padding, or other CSS in the format format-area=margin:1em auto 5px 0;padding-left:5px; with no quotation marks and with a semicolon after each CSS property)
 * format-box (set general formatting for the whole box, like font-size, color, background-color, or other CSS in the format format-box=font-size:90%;color:lightblue;background-color:gray; with no quotation marks and with a semicolon after each CSS property)
 * format-quote (set formatting for the central column in the top half of the box, which contains the quotation itself, using CSS properties)
 * format-source (set formatting for the bottom half of the box using CSS properties)
 * Ideas not yet fully implemented.
 * edit (edit=Page on which to edit the quotation, or edit=hide to hide the button, or empty/undefined parameter to set edit=/quotes for that page's quotes subpage)
 * Need to create update Template:New quotes page for that code to work as intended.
