If a user uses a Onebox link, they will be awarded the ‘first quote’ badge. I just got the Onebox and first quote badges together in my [first post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/largest-discourse-communities/68411), which included a Onebox link.

I guess you could see a Onebox is a form of quote, but it seems the idea of the badge is to encourage “quoting relevant sections of earlier posts” in the same thread.

I can see why, since an internal onebox is a form of a quote. Not sure this edge condition is really worth dealing with at this time.
