Paragraph breaks and multiline

At the moment, 2-paragraph quotes without a source are often collapsed into a single paragraph, which I regard as a bug. The conditions for when it works and doesn't work are very unusual. More precisely, 2-paragraph quotes are collapsed into a single paragraph unless any one of the following conditions are true:

1. |author=anything and |multiline=yes
2. The quote is provided as the first unnamed template parameter (not via |1= or |text=) and the quote is followed by a trailing line break
3. |author=anything and the quote is followed by a trailing line break

3-paragraph quotes appear to work fine. I haven't tested other source parameters beyond |author=.

Test cases

Markup Renders as {{Blockquote|First parameter Paragraph 2}} First parameter Paragraph 2 {{Blockquote|text=text parameter Paragraph 2}} text parameter Paragraph 2 {{Blockquote|multiline=yes|First parameter Paragraph 2 multiline}} First parameter Paragraph 2 multiline {{Blockquote|multiline=yes|text=text parameter Paragraph 2 multiline}} text parameter Paragraph 2 multiline {{Blockquote|First parameter Paragraph 2 | author=Author}} First parameter Paragraph 2 — Author {{Blockquote|text=text parameter Paragraph 2 | author=Author}} text parameter Paragraph 2 — Author {{Blockquote|multiline=yes|First parameter Paragraph 2 multiline | author=Author}} First parameter Paragraph 2 multiline — Author {{Blockquote|multiline=yes|text=text parameter Paragraph 2 multiline | author=Author}} text parameter Paragraph 2 multiline — Author {{Blockquote|First parameter Paragraph 2 trailing line break }} First parameter Paragraph 2 trailing line break {{Blockquote|1=Named parameter 1 Paragraph 2 trailing line break }} Named parameter 1 Paragraph 2 trailing line break {{Blockquote|text=text parameter Paragraph 2 trailing line break }} text parameter Paragraph 2 trailing line break {{Blockquote|multiline=yes|First parameter Paragraph 2 multiline trailing line break }} First parameter Paragraph 2 multiline trailing line break {{Blockquote|multiline=yes|text=text parameter Paragraph 2 multiline trailing line break }} text parameter Paragraph 2 multiline trailing line break {{Blockquote|First parameter Paragraph 2 trailing line break | author=Author}} First parameter Paragraph 2 trailing line break — Author {{Blockquote|text=text parameter Paragraph 2 trailing line break | author=Author}} text parameter Paragraph 2 trailing line break — Author {{Blockquote|multiline=yes|First parameter Paragraph 2 multiline trailing line break | author=Author}} First parameter Paragraph 2 multiline trailing line break — Author {{Blockquote|multiline=yes|text=text parameter Paragraph 2 multiline trailing line break | author=Author}} text parameter Paragraph 2 multiline trailing line break — Author

Prior concerns about line breaks and |multiline= were discussed and left apparently unresolved at Template talk:Blockquote/Archive 3 § multiline parameter not working?

Font-size of .templatequotecite in mobile view

Can someone decrease font-size for the "— Template Quote Cite"-functionality so it matches the font-size of the quote itself. As of now, the correct font-size is only being displayed in desktop view, but not in mobile view. Infogiraffic (talk) 21:11, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
