@Beeswaxcandle: Quick question (I couldn't find the answer in the help documents). If there are quotations marks and italics on the same page, how do we distinguish them? Do we put quotation templates around each end of every quotation? I am validating a page in which the proofreader did nothing to distinguish between italics markup and quotation marks, but the result looks fine. Should I leave it as is, or put in templates for the quotes? Leschnei (talk) 02:20, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

nop

The template {{nop}} is not only used to indicate a paragraph break. It really serves as a carriage return, to insure that the first line of text on the following page begins on a new line. So, it will also be used when the final item on a page is a table or image, to avoid the possibility of odd text-wrapping after the table or image. --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:37, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

@EncycloPetey:Thanks, that's good to know. I'll correct my mis-correction! Leschnei (talk) 02:44, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

@Beeswaxcandle: Quotation marks vs double apostrophes! Got it now. I think it's time to go to bed - my brain isn't functioning properly. Leschnei (talk) 02:48, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Yep, double quotation marks (") don't get in the way of the italic markup of two single apostrophes. The problem comes when there's a single quotation mark. When we get that situation we wrap the quotation mark as a template: {{'}}. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 06:21, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
