Help:Copying from Wikipedia

From Familypedia

Copying from Wikipedia to this wiki is permissible because both use the same license. However, it is necessary to include the proper acknowledgment so that readers can refer to the original and discover its authors.

Whenever you do such copying from a page in the English-language ("en") version of Wikipedia, please add the following template near the bottom of the page: "enWP|" (inside double curly braces, i.e. {{enWP|}}). Then before the final brackets paste the name of the Wikipedia article. If the page itself is a template, you need to have that inside a pair of opening and closing <noinclude></noinclude> tags. You need to add similar attribution for other languages of Wikipedia and for other GFDL projects such as Wikimedia Commons.

Note that Wikia sites are not intended to duplicate substantial portions of Wikipedia. You may copy all or part of an article (and its links and templates) to start off a page on the subject, but you are expected to adapt it so as to reflect this particular wiki's slant on the subject.

One way to add attribution is to use the {{Wikipedia}} template. If your wiki does not have a copy of this template, you can find one here. Another option, often used by Wikipedians when using works from Wikia, is to make the attribution in the page history via the edit summary.
