Template:Interwiki copy/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template may be used to give attribution for text copied from other Wikimedia Foundation projects into the English language Wikipedia.

Usage

[edit]

Place the following code near the top of the talk page of the English page:

{{Interwiki copy|url= |title= }}
  • After |url= place the permanent URL of the Wikimedia Foundation project page you are using.
  • After |title= place the exact name of the original page.

Alternatively, provide the source as an interwiki link using Special:PermanentLink:

{{Interwiki copy|source= }}

Don't forget to add a dummy edit in the article to fix attribution problems. For example, for content copied from Simple-Wiki:

Content copied from [[Simple:Wikipedia]]; see that page's history for attribution
