That was one of the factors that helped it stick around, it started as an online dictionary you could link to, so you didn't have to write out an info dump every time somebody asked online about something. Even the biggest pages on there now all started out as small stubs written off from pages in school books. Though that's also what gained it a bit of reputation early on as it grew quicker than could be managed at times.
