Well I've changed my mind twice about this now. First I thought that duplication was good because what I came to this wiki looking for was to have all the information and book quotes on a given topic be on one page for easy researching. Then second I sorta came round to Kuruni's way of thinking because if you have duplicates everywhere it's both inelegant and leaves you wide open to an assblasting when new links come around or people correct spelling mistakes, 'cos then you have to do everything twice (or, like, 10 times for things like God's Servants and the Structure of the World). But THEN I changed my mind again to Vanderblit's thinking after it became obvious that some things which do (at least to my eyes) obviously need a page (e.g. Heaven) nevertheless don't really have anything I can say about them that isn't verbatim book content, so they have to duplicate the content or the page would just be one introductory sentence and a wikilink to Early_settings_info.

So I dunno. Basically I'm playing it by ear on a case-by-case basis at the moment. If the article without massive book-quotes seems long and comprehensive enough, or the book-quotes would be massive whole chapters just cut-pasted in their entirety, I put in a link (see e.g. Monster Girl Encyclopedia world). If the article would be tiny and useless without the massive book-quotes, I stick it in (l-lewd). But please, suggest something better, 'cos that's open to all sorts of stupidity and inconsistency but I can't think of anything better.
