It's worth mentioning that on a real wiki, you want to do as little copying as 
possible.

If a piece of information is found on Page X, and you copy it to Page Y, then 
pages X and Y are now dependent on each other. If you change one, you have to 
remember to update the other or else it goes out of date.

In real life, on a wiki you want to maintain properly, you would use a 
different approach. Here are several:

* Link from page Y to page X
* Pull the information from page X into page Y automatically, using transclusion
* Make a template and transclude into both pages X and Y

Copying should be your last resort. It is the death of good information 
resources.
