Template:Infobox
This nomination includes the main template and several auxiliary templates created or ported from Wikipedia at the same time:


 * Template:Infobox
 * Template:Infobox/row
 * Template:Br separated entries
 * Template:Px
 * Template:GR


 * Template:Precision1
 * Template:Precision/tz
 * Template:Precision/tz/1‎
 * Template:Coord
 * Template:Coord/negzeropad


 * Template:Coord/dms2dec
 * Template:Coord/link
 * Template:Coord/display/inline,title
 * Template:Coord/input/dms
 * Template:Coor URL

These templates are not being used in any Wikiquote pages, except that they may have been used directly or indirectly within, or within instances of, a couple special-purpose infobox templates that are currently listed at Votes for Deletion here and here. (I nominated these separately because it seems possible that someone could have different opinions about those instances and this general framework.) I do not believe Wikiquote has any good uses for the sorts of infoboxes used at Wikipedia because the focus here is on the quotes. We generally limit article introductions to briefly identifying the topic and, where necessary, why it is notable. Since there is no need for an infobox to recap such a small amount of material, use of infoboxes would primarily lead to an accumulation of additional material that is not germane for Wikiquote's purposes. — Ningauble 20:44, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
