+== Quota Enforcer
+
+Gerrit provides an extension point that allows a plugin to enforce quota.
+link:quota.html[This documentation page] has a list of all quota requests that
+Gerrit core issues. Plugins can choose to respond to all or just a subset of
+requests. Some implementations might want to keep track of user quota in buckets,
+others might just check against instance or project state to enforce limits on how
+many projects can be created or how large a repository can become.
+
+Checking against instance state can be racy for concurrent requests as the server does not
+refill tokens if the action fails in a later stage (e.g. database failure). If
+plugins want to guarantee an absolute maximum on a resource, they have to do their own
+book-keeping.

+= Gerrit Code Review - Quota
+
+Gerrit does not provide out of the box quota enforcement. However, it does
+support an extension mechanism for plugins to hook into to provide this
+functionality. The most prominent plugin is the
+link:https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/quota/[Quota Plugin].
+
+This documentation is intended to be read by plugin developers. It contains all
+quota requests implemented in Gerrit-core as well as the metadata that they have
+associated.
+
+== Quota Groups
+
+The following quota groups are defined in core Gerrit:
