I combined the {{merged from}} templates into a {{Copied}}. Please confirm that the links and IDs look correct. Once they are verified, I will copy the tag to the source talk pages and repair the attribution using dummy edits. Flatscan (talk) 04:48, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
- I like the neatness of the single template, but that is not exactly what happened. I did just copy the infoboxes, but I completely re-wrote the plot summaries as they were super long in the individual articles (which to be honest was at least partially my fault) and the first two sections are entirely new.So the actual article text wasn't copied at all. I'm not sure that really changes the rules of attribution, just thought I clear that up. Beeblebrox (talk) 07:00, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Content rewritten in one's own words does not need attribution.
Should I tweak the {{Copied}} to point to the infobox edits only? In my opinion, nearly all of their fields – except maybe the cover selection and genre – are uncopyrightable facts that do not need attribution, but providing it doesn't hurt.
