In the wiki, there was multiple page that references the location of qBittorrent.conf. There were always incomplete as different installation type use different folders location. A reference to the FAQ section about the location of the configuration file (qBittorrent.conf) was used in all sections that where referencing it, instead of having different, incomplete information all over the place. The right information will be easier to find and if an update to the location of the qBittorrent.conf is needed (new/different installation type or location is changed), it will be easier will be easier to document as only this section will need to be edited.

Why do you use a different string (e.g. "Still here") in every location? Also this "Still here" is inappropriate because you assume the reader has already read the previous link 30+ lines ago.
