The '''Instant-Refs''' (renamed in 11/2016, originally, Instant-cquotes) script is a browser addon (user script) implemented in JavaScript in order to convert excerpts (created via copy&paste) from FlightGear forum or [[mailing list]] postings into MediaWiki markup/quotes to be used on the FlightGear wiki. It is supported by Firefox, Google Chrome/Chromium, Opera and Safari. It is being developed and maintained by a group of volunteers involved in maintaining the wiki and in trying to provide more up-to-date information to end-users who may not be as involved in the various FlightGear-related communication channels.
