This is a page-top or section-top template used to mark pages originally from different wiki projects.
Syntax
You may simply use {{FromOther}}
, but this is not recommended. Instead, you are encouraged to give credit whenever you can.
Common usage
In most cases, you can use:
{{FromOther|site=|originURL=|origin=|copyright=cc|lsubtype=by-sa|lver=4.0|contribURL=}}
You will provide the site name, a link to original page, the name of the page, and a link to a list of contributors. This particular template declares that the original page is shared under CC BY-SA 4.0. Make sure to check if the license is correct.
For works that have few contributors or no website detailing the contributors, you may use contributors
instead of contribURL
.
For example: If you are to reference "Earth" from English wikipedia, use
{{FromOther|site=English Wikipedia|originURL=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth|origin=Earth|copyright=cc|lsubtype=by-sa|lver=3.0|contribURL=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Earth&action=history}}
which yields
The sect
parameter
You can use |sect=sect
to mark a section instead of the entire page.
{{FromOther|sect=sect|site=Chinese Moegirlpedia|originURL=https://zh.moegirl.org.cn/博丽灵梦#基本资料|origin=博丽灵梦#基本资料|copyright=cc|lsubtype=by-nc-sa|lver=3.0|contribURL=https://zh.moegirl.org.cn/index.php?title=博丽灵梦&action=history}}
yields
The copyright
parameter
Currently, the copyright
parameter allows one to choose between three types of predefined license or define their own license.
- Creative Commons.
copyright=cc
.- You will also need to provide the license subtype (e.g. "BY", "BY-NC-SA", etc.) via the
lsubtype
parameter and the license version via thelver
parameter. - The template will automatically generate link to the respective CC licenses with the above provided information; do not use
licenseURL
. - Special support is made for CC0 1.0. The license subtype is
zero
. - Barebone:
{{FromOther|copyright=cc|lsubtype=|lver=|contribURL=}}
- Public Domain.
copyright=pd
.- Although it is not necessary to credit public domain material, it is a good gesture to do so.
- Barebone:
{{FromOther|copyright=pd}}
- Agreement.
copyright=agreement
.- This applies when a copyright holder(s) agree to release their copyrighted material for use by Moegirlpedia. Credit as usual, but use
licenseURL
to provide a link to the text of the agreement or proof of its existence if possible. - Barebone:
{{FromOther|copyright=agreement|contribURL=}}
- Other licenses.
- Let
copyright
be the name of the license (e.g.copyright=the Apache License
), and uselicenseURL
to provide a link to the text of the license. Credit the contributors as required by the license. - Barebone:
{{FromOther|copyright=|contribURL=}}
- Let
