In the Quick Links module, you can choose to have as many Quick Link categories as you need. Each Link category (e.g. Parks and Rec Links, Police Links) can 'live' on as many pages as it needs to, but will filter back into the main Quick Links module page. Quick Links can also be set up with your Departments as categories or other areas of interest as a category.
The Quick Links widget in Live Edit can be used to place any category or categories on a page. When Quick Links are on any page besides the homepage and the Quick Links module page, they will be placed on the right-hand side of the page or in the feature column (the feature column must be turned on).

I don't feel I have a good general concept of what a Quick Link does or its general function/purpose.
Hi Wes,
A quick link is a button or hyperlinked phrase often used as a way to navigate to different websites or pages within a website. An example of a quick link would be those that are listed in the Recent Articles section or the Other Articles section on the left of this article. It allows your users to navigate to popular areas of your site with ease!
I hope this helps, we will work on expanding this knowledge in a walk-through article shortly.
Thank you,
