This is a very good idea, in itself, to help fix problems with attribution, especially wrt 'print' editions (PDF export). It might also be used to avoid undesirable attribution notices in the article body, where the text is a copy of a GFDL/CC external webpage, to be used for once-off imports (e.g. bio page on personal website), rather than large scale import/reuse like FOLDOC/EB1911/etc. -- John Vandenberg _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
