Template talk:Reflist/Transwiki guide
Untitled
Need help with what you mean on this. I have been exporting templates for use on our private wiki instance using the Special pages -> Export pages and export both the template or module and the doc. There are two parts to this instruction I am not clear on.
1. The term at the top of the column "Edit summary" which contains several of these
2. What is copy from [[:en:Template:Reflist]]
?
3. How to you use the "copy from"? I tested a new page and placed this on it. thought I might be doing something like Subst but it just created a link back to the Wikipedia version.
Is this some extra step above using Export Pages or will doing that suffice?
On an external Wiki do I need to bring in the version as some are quite huge or should they be fine with just the current?— Preceding unsigned comment added by WikimeSteve (talk • contribs)
- Those are for attribution purposes and recommended to be added to edit summary before saving the page. The interwiki will work for Wikimedia projects but in your case copy pasting the url of the permalink into the edit summary should suffice, for example
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Reflist&oldid=794499661
for template reflist. If you use Special:Export and select to export the full history then that should cover the attribution.--Lam-ang (talk) 07:17, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
Requested move 8 July 2024
![]() | It has been proposed in this section that Template:Reflist/Transwiki guide be renamed and moved to Help:Importing Reflist. This proposal is for a cross-namespace move from Template to Help namespace. A bot will list this discussion on requested moves' current discussions subpage within an hour of this tag being placed. The discussion may be closed 7 days after being opened, if consensus has been reached (see the closing instructions). Please base arguments on article title policy, and keep discussion succinct and civil. Please use {{subst:requested move}} . Do not use {{requested move/dated}} directly. |
Template:Reflist/Transwiki guide → Help:Importing Reflist – This isn't a template or even a documentation page explaining the usage of the template, but a help page explaining how to import it. This is better placed in the actual help namespace. Gonnym (talk) 07:11, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
