User blog comment:RansomTime/Credit where credit's due: How to properly attribute pages from other wikis/@comment-5558012-20160416150353

While this method is just fine and fulfills attribution requirements, I wouldn't consider this the best way to attribute content for articles (templates are an exception). Just like a source you add as a reference to information on an article, the best way (for the readers) is to state directly on the article were the information originates (which could be in addition to the above). Sources are no use to a reader in the page history, I see no difference here.
