Summary: SUBST violates GFDL - proposed remedy
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Database
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The use of the "subst" feature reproduces a source page's "include" contents
without attribution. Since the source is likely subject to GFDL, attribution
is required. One way to handle this would be to have the server enter a second
entry into the target page's edit history when the subst is carried-out; "GFDL
attribution: previous edit included contents SUBSTed from <source>". This
would satisfy GFDL.
