This thread is for general discussion of page quotes, whether to change, move or remove them.
Unused quotes should be put on a Quotes Wiki page (just replace the namespace in the URL of the wiki page you are making a quotes page for with Quotes/).
Image captions are discussed elsewhere and have their own thread
in the Image Pickin' forum.

Wizards Don't Own Cats (she/her)

But isn't the trope about leaving a trail of items to allow yourself to find your way back? The quote straight up talks about following a trail and being safe from getting lost which I think is as clear as it can get in illustrating the trope, regardless of the emotion (or lack thereof) being delivered. That it "doesn't work as a page quote" because someone thought it sounded sarcastic feels quite nitpicky — tone usually gets lost in writing either way, and page quotes also don't allow potholes which prevents Bad "Bad Acting" from showing up as a link to clarify the delivery (though in all honesty it isn't even necessary).
For Stock Animal Diet, I suggest this from "A Wild Hare"
Hmm, Bugs Bunny is in the image I'd be tempted to go for a different example and an animal & food that isn't in the page image. Just for diversity sake.
Mountain Man had it's quote moved to the image caption as the result of an Image Pickin thread
.
I'd like to propose:
Looks good.
For Stock Animal Diet, then what about this one from Big Bang Theory season 12, ep 8 "The Consummation Deviation"
Raj Koothrappali: That is such a stereotype!
Sheldon Cooper: There won't be any elephants?
Raj Koothrappali: Of course there'll be elephants. It's a stereotype that you feed them peanuts.
can I suggest a quote swap for Moveset Clone? the current quote is kind of a tongue-in-cheek meta joke that gets contradicted by a labelnote and it might be nice to have something more straightforward:
I don't like how vague and unsourced the old quote is, I kind of prefer having the lyrics to a cruel angel's thesis given that they're both iconic and descriptive of the show's themes (though take out the potholes obviously)

Suggestion for "Second Place Is For Winners":
I tried to change it unilaterally and was told to take it to this thread. Here is the current quote:
"The witches show off tricks and spells developed during the year in a spirit of friendly co-operation (har har) to see who is going to come second to Granny Weatherwax." — Nanny Ogg's Cookbook
I feel strongly that even if my quote is rejected, this should be changed, it is not very good
Hero Ball has the same quote as Good Is Dumb.
There is a Quotes.Hero Ball page, but there's just one quote there and it isn't very good unless you speak French.
I suggest pulling the quote on Hero Ball, or replacing it if anyone has an idea.

I don't just Wiki Talk the talk. I Wiki Walk the walk.I checked the Quotes.IdiotBall page, and I liked this one:
I actually like this one better for the Idiot Ball page quote, and moving its current page quote from Revenge of the Sith to the Hero Ball page. Thoughts?

I've added the quote from #14128
to Mountain Man and amended the tag:

For Kiss Courier, what about this from MASH episode "Welcome to Korea"
Hawkeye: What? What-what-what-what? What-what-what?
Radar: Ah, gee, I can't.
Hawkeye: What?
Radar: [Sighs] Okay, but just remember this was his idea.
(Kisses Hawkeye on the cheek)
What about this quote for Mama Bear?
Could said quote possibly go on the Live action film subpage for Mama Bear?
I’ll lift my face, and run to the sunlight.![]()
Sorry, didn’t realise this was for removing quotes that weren’t working, thought it was more a suggestion thing. Happy to add it to the quotes section for that page. 👍
