The cards are perpetually maintained as a form of "wiki page written by one person with a little attitude".<ref name="NYT: melding">{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/07/business/media/voxcom-takes-melding-of-journalism-and-technology-to-next-level.html?_r=0 |access-date=December 26, 2014 |title=Vox Takes Melding of Journalism and Technology to a New Level |last1=Kaufman |first1=Leslie |date=April 6, 2014 |website=The New York Times |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150506053843/http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/07/business/media/voxcom-takes-melding-of-journalism-and-technology-to-next-level.html?_r=1 |archive-date=May 6, 2015 |url-status=live}}</ref> As an example, a card about the term "insurance exchange" may be reused on stories about the [[Affordable Care Act]].<ref name="NYT: melding" />
