{{anchor|Attribution|reason=Old section name}}
A [[WP:Citing sources|reference citation]] can be placed before the quote, after the quote, or in the {{para|source}} parameter:
{{bulleted list
|{{tick}} {{stronggood|Typical use:}} In the regular-prose introduction to the quotation, when a quotation is given without the displayed {{para|author}}, {{para|title}}, or {{para|source}} parameters: <syntaxhighlight lang="html" inline>According to Pat Doe, in "Underwater Basketweaving Tips" (2015):<ref>...</ref> {{blockquote |text=Quoted material.}}</syntaxhighlight>
|At the end of the quotation, when a quotation is given without the displayed {{para|author}}, {{para|title}}, or {{para|source}} parameters, and placement before the quote isn't appropriate (e.g. because the material immediately before the quote isn't cited to the same source or introduces multiple quotes from different sources: <syntaxhighlight lang="html" inline>Pat Doe and Chris Foo took opposing positions: {{blockquote |text=Doe's Quoted material.<ref>...</ref>}} {{blockquote |text=Foo's Quoted material.<ref>...</ref>}}</syntaxhighlight>
|After the {{para|source}} value (if a value is given for the {{para|source}} parameter other than the <syntaxhighlight lang="html" inline><ref>...</ref></syntaxhighlight> itself):<syntaxhighlight lang="html" inline>One expert noted in 2015: {{blockquote |text=Quoted material. |author=Pat Doe |source="Underwater Basketweaving Tips" (2015)<ref>...</ref>}}</syntaxhighlight>
|{{xmark}} {{strongbad|Deprecated:}} <s>After the quoted person's name in {{para|author}}, or after the work's title in {{para|title}}, when a {{para|source}} parameter is not being added: <syntaxhighlight lang="html" inline>As noted in "Underwater Basketweaving Tips" (2015): {{blockquote |text=Quoted material. |author=Pat Doe<ref>...</ref>}}</syntaxhighlight></s>{{pb}}{{A note}} Please avoid this format, as it will pollute the author or title metadata with non-author or non-title information.
}}

Please do not place the citation in a {{para|author}} or {{para|source}} parameter by itself, as it will produce a nonsensical attribution line that looks like this:
{{pb}}{{in5}}—&#8239;{{dummy reference}}{{pb}}
Please also do not put it just outside the {{tlf|blockquote}} template, as this will cause a:
{{pb}}{{in5}}{{dummy reference}}{{pb}}on a line by itself.
