Welcome to the Quake Wiki.

The old version was at http://wiki.quakesrc.org, so start copying stuff over from archive.org. Notice the GNU Free Document License thingy at the bottom left, I hope you're all OK with that.

Try to be consistent with page styles. If no similar pages exist here yet, use Wikipedia as a base on how to format stuff on your new page (tables, infoboxes, etc.)

If you're too lazy or dim to bother with wiki formatting, but you still have some good information to share, go ahead. It's a wiki, other people can spruce it up later.
