{{#ifeq:|quotes|
- When the title you are citing contains quotations marks or apostrophes at the beginning, end or both, you can use
 to place a separation between that punctuation and the quotation marks this template automatically provides around the title, to avoid a non-ideal display such as '''.
- For example instead of {{#ifeq:Template||Template:FormattingError|title='name'}} which will display on many browsers with the quotation marks surrounding it as {{#ifeq:Template||Template:FormattingError|'''name'''}}, use {{#ifeq:Template||Template:FormattingError||title=}}{{#ifeq:Template||Template:FormattingError| }}'name'{{#ifeq:Template||Template:FormattingError| }}, which will display as " 'name' ".}}
