Transcripts are said to be low on the list of priorities, but what do people think about adding one or two quotes from each LoadingReadyRun episode onto their respective pages? Unhari 10:30, 14 November 2011 (PST)

I want to add my thoughts to this, now that I've ruminated on it. I asked myself, "What other wikis have quote sections?" The only one I know of is the Memory Alpha, the Star Trek wiki. They don't appear to have transcripts on that wiki because each episode is an hour long. It would be far too long to be practical.
LoadingReadyRun videos are almost never so long that a transcript would be incomprehensibly long. (For instance, HRWiki has transcript for their videos, because the videos they're transcribing are never more than four or five minutes.) For this reason, I think we should not have quote sections.
I should also clarify what I meant by the section "Not considered a priority." We would still like transcripts at some point, but we don't expect anyone to take up the considerable mantle just yet. If we're in agreement here, we could add a section that says "Things we don't want" and add "Quote sections" to it (and anything else we think of).
I don't want to discourage you from helping. We do appreciate it, but it seems this isn't in line with what the wiki really needs.
