IMHO blockquote is OK, as we do not have an equivalent in wiki markup.
We do, however, have wiki markup for lists, in which case wiki markup is
always preferred.
Same goes for tables (yes, the syntax is weird), <hr>, bold/italics, dd/dt.
I have taken to generating some templates like Template:" (aka
Template:%22) for example which is specified as:
<blockquote><p>{{{1}}}</p></blockquote>
written this looks like:
{{"|This is a quoted set of text}}
I suppose you could also do something like this for Template:" :
<blockquote><p>{{{1}}}</p><cite>{{{2}}}</cite></blockquote>
used like this:
{{"|This is quoted text|
