| Field Name | Aliases | Optional or Required? | Description | Example |

| Quote | - | Optional | When citing a particular quote from the page or article, this should be used. However, it cannot be used if the Details field is used.

...in others we could provide detailed concept and reference but no models (DSC Support Ship)... |
