Looking at the "what links here" page, the "quantum computer" is probably there as a stop-gap definition because the term is used at "Quantum compressed archive".[1]

Any successful wiki will have a problem of demarcation; the initial signs being that people add whatever they want, including ramblings like Two cows. [2]

If the project goes along, taking Wikipedia as precedent there will develop two "inclusionist" and "deletionist" cultures that will fight over the definition of what the project should cover, but which would get rid of these extreme cases.

Except from the very first day, the declared final authority falls at my desk, and I am a hardcore inclusionist. So no, it won't be making that mistake.
