I believe I've figured it out. I've made the necessary change on your wiki myself--I hope you don't mind--as shown below:

The quote template design you're using is one I use myself--as in, the basic design--so after I compared your template to mine and ruled out any mistakes in the code itself, I had a lightbulb moment and investigated your Template:!, aka the  in your template code. If you look at that template's history, you'll notice that it has been--likely unintentionally--'converted' to a portable infobox twice before. The first time you noticed and reverted it, but the second time seems to have slipped your notice.

Obviously Template:! is very much not supposed to be an infobox, so I went ahead and manually changed it back to its default state. This seems to have done the trick. To confirm, I'll point to the quote as used on Gary Jansen's page as an example.

Prior to my edit, the quote template indeed displayed  as you said. It also put the speaker and source above the main quote. Now, the speaker/source row is properly displayed under the quote and no wikitext is visible. If you cannot see this change, I suggest purging your cache/hard reloading/etc.

That Template:! was 'migrated' to register as a portable infobox may be of some concern; I suggest double-checking your other non-infobox templates to make sure no other erroneous migrations occurred circa 2019.

Edit: Informal observation regarding the quote template on Gary Jansen's page: I notice you tagged the quote source as a ref(erence), but this is a little clumsy given the quote template set-up. Notice the space between the comma and the [1] superscript; the design has a named source in mind, not a citation. Either use the source title instead, or change the template design if you'd prefer sources look like citations.

Here is an example of a quote template naming the source of the quote (i.e. example of what I mean by 'source title'); in this instance, the source is a book, so the book's title is written out.
