The wiki is not intended to be a collection of quotes - however, there are numerous articles that haven't been updated in months, or even in years, where quotes may be the only useful "updates" for the time being. Equally, there are undocumented features or articles that got successfully bootstrapped via quote-based articles. Meanwhile, there's a huge number of articles that contain so called cquotes, that were bootstrapped using quotes or that still consist primarily of quotes (usually added via [[Instant-Cquotes]]). | The wiki is not intended to be a collection of quotes - however, there are numerous articles that haven't been updated in months, or even in years, where quotes may be the only useful "updates" for the time being.
