Template:Copied
![]() | Text and/or other creative content from [[{{{from}}}]] was copied or moved into [[{{{to}}}]]. The former page's [{{fullurl:{{{from}}}|action=history}} history] now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted so long as the latter page exists. The former page's talk page can be accessed at [[]]. |
This template is meant to simplify the merge/split procedures by providing one template that can be used on the talk pages of source and destination articles or other pages. Intended for use on talk pages, this template identifies that text and/or other creative content has been copied or moved from one page to another, recording attribution dependencies as described by Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
Usage
change- 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 ([[ – ]]).
Basic
{{Copied|from=|from_oldid=|to=|diff=}}
Full
{{Copied |from = |from_oldid = |to = |diff = |to_diff = |to_oldid = |date = |small = }}

- From the permanent link url:
to
is the destination page, where the content was placed.diff
is the diff or permanent link of the destination page edit when the text was placed (in the case of a newly created page: the permanent url of the first version of the destination page).- These parameters are alternatives to the above and may be omitted if
diff

- These parameters are alternatives to the above and may be omitted if
date
is the date, time and date, or timestamp that the copying took place at.small
is passed on to the {{Tmbox}} that is used to generate the message box. If set to yes, makes it a smaller right floating message box.
Example
change{{Copied |from=Squirrel |from_oldid=345129608 |to=Tree squirrel |diff=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tree_squirrel&diff=345159499&oldid=301353806 |date=01:00, 01 January 2011}}

- both display:
![]() | Text and/or other creative content from this version of Squirrel was copied or moved into Tree squirrel with this edit on 01:00, 01 January 2011. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted so long as the latter page exists.
