((Verse transliteration-translation)) produces a three-column layout meant to contain the original text of a given poem, an English transliteration, and an English translation, in that order, with optional headings. Language and transliteration data is automatically added in accordance with the (({lang))}, and the columns break into a vertical layout in viewports below 900 pixels in width. By setting rtl = yes, the leftmost column can be made to run right to left.

Example (the koinobori song by Miyako Kondō)[edit]

((verse transliteration-translation
|lang=ja

|originalHeading = Original Japanese
|屋根より　高い　鯉のぼり
大きい　真鯉は　お父さん
小さい　緋鯉は　子供たち
面白そうに　泳いでる

|transliterationHeading = Rōmaji
|yane yori takai koinobori
ōkii magoi wa otōsan
chiisai higoi wa kodomo-tachi
omoshirosō ni oyoideru

|translationHeading = English translation
|Higher than the roof-tops are the koinobori
The large carp is the father
The smaller carp are the children
They seem to be having fun swimming.))

|One little goat, one little goat: 
Then came The Holy One, Blessed be He, 
and smote the angel of death, who slew the slaughterer, 
who killed the ox, that drank the water, 
that put out the fire, that burned the stick, 
that beat the dog, that bit the cat, that ate the goat, 
Which my father bought for two zuzim.))

Quotation templates

Template	Use / description
↓ Block quotations	General purpose
((Blockquote))	Our standard block quotation template: unbordered page-wide quotation with optional smaller-sized attribution
((Break lines))	Transforms line breaks into `<br />` tags. It is very similar to the ((poem)) template, except that it does not invoke the `<poem>` MediaWiki extension.
((Numbered verses))	Quote poems showing the verse numbers
((Poem))	((Blockquote)) variant for use with poems, song lyrics, and other things that would otherwise require the use of `<poem>` tags or frequent formatting elements (such as `<br />`); requires substitution
((Poem quote))	((Blockquote)) variant for use with poems, song lyrics, and other things that would otherwise require the use of `<poem>` tags or frequent formatting elements (such as `<br />`); does not require substitution
((Poetically break lines)) (shortcut: ((pbl)))	Designed to format poetry simply and reliably; it differs from ((Poem quote)) in two significant ways: it does not add spacing around the poem for that sets it apart as “block quote”, and it automatically provides hanging indentation when lines are so long that they wrap
((Text and translation))	Displays original language and translated text, one beside the other
((Verse translation))	Displays original language verse (defaults to italics) and translated verse (roman) side-by-side
((Verse transliteration-translation))	Like ((Verse translation)), but with a transliteration separate from the original version
((Gbq))	((Blockquote)) variant for use inside glossaries
((Cquote))	"centered quote" – Page-wide quote, between large quotation marks
((Rquote))	"reduced quote" – Quote between large quotation marks in a reduced floating area
((Quote frame))	Page-wide bordered quote
((Quote box))	Quote floated in a reduced bordered box
((Tweet))	For quoting directly from tweets. Automatically generates `((Cite tweet))` citation, or a custom reference can be provided.

↓ Talk page quoting	Not for use in articles nor the project space at all
((Talk quote inline)) (shortcut: ((tq)), ((tqq)), ((tqi)), or ((tqqi)))	Inline quotation for use on talk pages
((Not talk quote inline)) (shortcut: ((!tq)), ((!tqq)), ((!tqi)), or ((!tqqi)))	Inline quotation for what someone didn't say but could have, or perhaps should have, said.
((Talk quote block)) (shortcut: ((tqb)), ((tq2)))	Block-style quotation for use on talk pages
((Talk quote block minimalist)) (shortcut: ((tqbm)))	Minimalist version of above

↓ Alternative	For indenting non-quotations
((Block indent))	To indent an entire block of content (uses `<div>` and CSS margins)
