If a '''previously-existing-local-wiki-page''' has a matching Wikipedia entry and you want to add some ''encyclopedic context'' to it, you may want to use {{tl|WikipediaSummary}} to add it. Cheers! :) ---[[User:Xavi|Xavi]] 09:04, 14 September 2007 (EDT) |

wikipedia articles
I would advise against copy-pasting articles from Wikipedia for two reasons:
- This wiki is not an encyclopedia (a link normally is enough)
- Wikipedia makes extensive use of their templates (resulting in sub-optimal local pages)
If a previously-existing-local-wiki-page has a matching Wikipedia entry and you want to add some encyclopedic context to it, you may want to use {{WikipediaSummary}} to add it. Cheers! :) ---Xavi 09:04, 14 September 2007 (EDT)
