Template:Orthodoxwiki note

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Derived with permission from Orthodoxwiki note at OrthodoxWiki. OrthodoxWiki copyright policy changed on 11/22/05 to be compatible with Wikipedia. The version of the page this article is derived from was either (1) created after that date, (2) created before that date but all users editing the page there (at least up to this version) before 11/22/05 have agreed to retroactively relicense their contributions.


For material taken from OrthodoxWiki, please use these templates to attribute the source of the article.

[edit] On the article page

Place {{orthodoxwiki|oldid=xxx}} in a section at the bottom of the article to attribute to an OrthodoxWiki article. Be sure to specify an oldid: do not link to the current page, but rather, link to the url of the specific version of the page you used. You can find that url by clicking on "permanent link", just as you can on Wikipedia.

Use {{orthodoxwiki}} if the OrthodoxWiki article has the same name as the Wikipedia article. If they have different names, instead place {{orthodoxwiki source|''HTML-friendly article name''|''Article name''|oldid=xxx}}. Here, "Article name" refers to the name of the article on OrthodoxWiki; the HTML-friendly article name is what appears in the URL as the article name (typically, the only difference will be replacing spaces with underscore characters (_), but if miscellaneous symbols are used it may get complicated).

Tip: if you aren't sure of what the HTML-friendly article name should be, search for the Wikipedia article with the same title as the OrthodoxWiki article you used. Edit that page, include {{PAGENAMEE}} in your edit and preview your change: whatever the tag shows up as is the HTML-friendly title.

[edit] On the talk page

Here, use the more verbose templates, {{orthodoxwiki permission}} (instead of {{orthodoxwiki}}) and {{orthodoxwiki note}} (instead of {{orthodoxwiki source}}). Those templates will explain the situation with OrthodoxWiki copyrights and compatibility with Wikipedia. The parameters used are similar.
