2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Width and placement

By default, the quote box is sized for full surrounding width. The width= parameter can be used to reduce the width, but usually full width is good.

For use on top of an article (when the quote contains too many lines for Template:Cquote to show them nicely), instead adding top=1 will fix the right-hand size so the background color doesn't overlap image or navbar with the usual size.

{{QuoteBox|Example Text!|top=1}} gives

Example Text!
