Syntax
To place this template, simply add {{Copypaste}} to the top of the suspect article or section. You may optionally include 3 arguments - one showing the date the tag was added, a second specifying whether it is an entire article or just a section that is suspect, and a third linking to the url you believe contains the original text.
For example:
{{Copypaste|section|url=http://www.example.org/|date=September 2024}}produces:
 | This may have been copied and pasted from http://www.example.org/ (Duplicate Detector report), possibly in violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. Please remedy this by editing this article to remove any non-free copyrighted content and attributing free content correctly, or flagging the content for deletion. Please be sure that the source of the copyright violation is not itself a Wikipedia mirror. (September 2024) |
