:::{{ping|NDKilla}} I don't understand, is there a problem? My understanding was that import from another wiki is completely acceptable under CC as the current revision is attributed in the edit history. I have no idea what "bad piggies" is, but I have no desire to waste my time, and I will seriously flip out if I put time into this only to face some kind of backlash. If it is not permitted, then please delete the content or delete the entire wiki, because the entire point of me being here is because I can't stand Wikia. I put a ton of effort into the farming simulator wiki on wikia and decided I wanted to move somewhere where vector is supported and none of the wikia crap exists. I hadn't used the import feature of MW before so didn't realize all the stuff that was getting imported that I don't care about or want, I only want the content I wrote, with the exception of listing specification data from the farming simulator game (which nobody can copyright on a wiki anyway as far as I know, as it's just listing values from a copyrighted game). So, in articles that I didn't write, I'm deleting all the content except for that. Let me tell you, though, if I put in another several thousand edits on this wiki only to get backlash, I will probably lose it. So, please do whatever it takes to get me to a point where I can do this in peace. --[[User:Slivicon|Slivicon]] ([[User talk:Slivicon|talk]]) 15:50, 21 July 2015 (BST)
::::What you said is exactly right. I didn't see any attribution anywhere, sorry if I missed it. If you are only planning on keeping content that you wrote, that is totally okay. Usually you can choose to import only files but I don't know how you got your xml file to import. Bad piggies is a recently created Orain wiki where someone (not the founder) uploaded copyrighted content then got blocked. If you authored the content on wikia and delete content you didn't there shouldn't be any issues. If you want to keep content you didn't author, just attribute it. No problems :) -- Cheers, [[User:NDKilla|NDKilla]] <sup> ( [[User talk:NDKilla|Talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/NDKilla|Contribs]] ) </sup> 16:00, 21 July 2015 (BST)
:::::{{ping|NDKilla}} my understanding with importing wiki xml and CC was that the attribution is in the edit history, so nothing on the page is needed. I only did an export from Wikia of the most recent revision, maybe that is not adequate, maybe the entire revision history is needed. I'm not interested in putting anything on the pages themselves, so I'd prefer to remove the content from the page if it's a problem, or do a trivial edit and attribute in the edit summary. It shouldn't be an issue, though, as I don't plan on keeping any of the content I didn't write, except for the game specs data for game elements (like I said), and there is a "Specs" template that was originally not designed by me, but I heavily modified it. Should I put a link to the original template in the edit history? --[[User:Slivicon|Slivicon]] ([[User talk:Slivicon|talk]]) 16:39, 21 July 2015 (BST)
