Quotes[]

Does anyone have a strong opinion or a suggestion on how to deal with the section "quotes" in episode articles? It's been a headache reviewing edits in this section — quotes with more action descriptions than lines, the possibility of an infinite number of quotes added, users ignoring the pattern of only five quotes, users making dialogs longer with each edit... I never found the section exactly useful but tried to make it work by limiting the number of quotes, but it's still a problem.

Gonzalo84 shared this opinion as early as 2009 (archived discussion). If nobody has anything to say, I intend to remove them from every article and extinguish quotes from the wiki.

I believe there is some value in quotes, particularly with "iconic" lines. For example, being able to connect the episode with "Out for a walk...", "softer side of Sears", or specific pieces of dialogue that are important to the overall legacy of the show/episode ("The hardest thing in this world is to live in it.") or simply a summary of a key moment for a character or story. Obviously, this is a large task to manage (and even determine) but I think it's somewhat worth looking over. I like the idea of having a singular quote at the top of each episode as well, but yeah, there definitely HAS to be a limit.

Message walls[]

Hey everyone. I just updated our wiki to enable Message Walls, which replace the older model of User Talk Pages. We can still access these talk pages by adding ?redirect=no at the end of the URL. Let me know if you have any doubt or opinion on this change!
