I definitely agree that giving attribution is important. After all, recognition for what we do here is one of the rewards we get for all our hard work.

Learning to use Special:Export and Special:Import are an important part of seeding a wiki  - if you choose to do by adding templates or other aspects from another wiki.

Of course, for articles it's much better to just write your own!

Thanks for this thoughtful topic Lady Aleena.
