Template:Copied/doc

This template is used to provide documentation that content has been copied to or from other Wikipedia pages and ensure that pages containing necessary attribution aren't deleted. Adding this template on the talk page is not a substitute for attribution in the page history using edit summaries.

Usage

• Be sure to use the exact page names of the articles.
• The page names are automatically linked, so this template will not behave as expected if the names are enclosed in link brackets ([[ – ]]).
• Any number of items can be included in the same template by enumerating the parameters (|from1=, |from2=, |from3= and so on). The numbering has to be consecutive.
