Hi,

For the last day I've created an article talking of an upcoming POTC attraction called "The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow" down at POTC Wiki. The reason I'm putting that is, our only sources regarding the attraction are from other websites, blogs, etc. Our Wiki, as far as I can see, doesn't have the Template in which we can make quotes with external links. I tried to see if I can make the template myself, using this quote from Wookiepedia for reference...it was terribly unsuccessful.

So if anyone who is good with these things can help me with this matter, I'd be most grateful. --On Stranger Tides, Arkham City 19:03, May 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * I edited w:c:pirates:Template:Quote a little. Let me know if this is what you meant. Otherwise you should revert my edit. --
 * Pretty much, yes. Though I'd prefer the source button looking like "[src]"(right now it looks like "src" and has an arrow added on it)....but if it's not possible, I'll take it. However, it can't be used at the Quote template as it kinda messes up the ones in use, which are a lot. I could just copy and paste it in creating the template, right?
 * Thanks for the help, BTW. ;) --[[Image:J Fan Sig.png|link=User:J Fan|50px]]On Stranger Tides, Arkham City 20:05, May 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, you should probably create a new template. But don't just copypaste it, update its documentation too, so people will know what it's for! Let me know the URL when you're done! --
 * Of course. I meant copypasting the coding in which the template is set up. I got it set up here. Thanks again for the help! --[[Image:J Fan Sig.png|link=User:J Fan|50px]]On Stranger Tides, Arkham City 21:03, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

Okay, to get those single brackets you should write the link like this:

Removing that arrow symbol behind the [src] is not so easy. You will have to edit your wiki's CSS and add something like this:

That will give you a class "no-sprite" with which you can switch off the arrow symbol:
