Another generic author name

I've just cleaned up a few articles where the author field ended with "(View posts)" (sample diff) -- John of Reading (talk) 09:26, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Translated Quote Parameter

Since there is a parameter for "translated title", and there is a parameter for "quote", I suggest a parameter for "translated quote". Currently I tend to write a translation of the quote in brackets after the quote, but this is probably not optimal, since the source itself is not the source of the translation (just as we usually cannot attribute a "translated title" to the source).

If the quotation is important to the article, put it in the article body and cite it. Quotations require citations; citations do not require quotations. But, if you must: |trans-quote=.

Oh, I didn't know we actually had this. I guess it was because it's not available from the visual editor 😅. Sometimes I used |quote= to give a fuller version of a quotation from the article itself, and sometimes it was to make clear how a source supported a claim, since it was a large webpage source and I can't give page numbers.
