Admin Forum:Using multiple imported pages from other wikis

So, when you have a brand new wiki with really nothing on it yet, is it against the rules to import a large number of pages directly from other wikis into your wiki? Or does that fall under like copyright infringement/plagiarism or something to that effect?

 * Absolutely, however you need to attribute the edits to the people who made them from the other wiki. The easiest way to do this is with the export tool (Special:Export at the wiki you want to export pages from), and the import tool on your new wiki (Special:Import) - this way the edit history will remain intact. You may also want to place a small template on the pages you imported linking back to the original wiki, where appropiate. The licence is fine with you copying work (it is in fact designed for that) - but claming that you did it (for example, by copying/pasting) - isn't --  Random Time  08:49, November 25, 2011 (UTC)
