			== Editing a quotation ==

			Open the quotation's item page and click '''Edit content''' under the title — or go straight to [[Special:UpdateQuotation/Q42\|Special:UpdateQuotation]] with the item's id (e.g. <code>Special:UpdateQuotation/Q100</code>). The form is the same as adding, prefilled from the item:

			* the '''Quotation text''' appears exactly as it was entered — multi-line text keeps its line breaks;
			* the language, attribution and source fields carry the current values.

			Change what you need and click '''Update item'''. Fields you leave blank keep their existing values — the item's class never changes.

new guide: adding and embedding quotations (via create-page on MediaWiki MCP Server)

New page

Quotations are stored as items on this instance and embedded on pages with the embed snippet. Creating one is a two-step flow: add the quotation item, then embed it.

== Adding a quotation ==

Open [[Special:AddQuotation]] and fill the form:

{| class="wikitable"
! Field !! What it is
|-
| Label || A short title for the quotation (e.g. its first words or a topic).
|-
| Quotation text || The quotation itself. Pick the language of the text in the '''Language''' combobox (any of the 500+ Wikibase languages).
|-
| Attributed to || The person who said or wrote it — search and pick the entity, or type the item id directly (e.g. <code>Q94</code>).
|-
| Source URL || Optional: the page or document the quotation comes from.
|-
| Source || Optional: the book or article the quotation is cited from (a source item created via [[Special:AddSource]]).
|-
| Date || Optional: when the quotation was made (format <code>YYYY-MM-DD</code>).
|}

Saving creates the item and redirects to it.

== Embedding a quotation ==

Open the quotation's item page and click '''Copy embed code''' — an iframe snippet like this lands on your clipboard:

<syntaxhighlight lang="html" inline><iframe src="https://wikibase.ronzz.org/wiki/Special:Embed/Q100" loading="lazy" style="width:100%;border:0;min-height:120px"></iframe></syntaxhighlight>

Paste it on any page — this wiki or a third-party site. Multi-language quotations show a language selector next to the embed button: '''Auto''' (the server negotiates), '''All languages''', or one specific language.
