::Then i would attribute it under CC-BY if you want to go Creative Commons route. It would afford more copyright weight than a non CC version of attribution required at any rate. If not, given the CC licensing there was imposed without community consent, I would still have some form of CC licensing anyway for legal reasons. (it's more defensible in court, should it come to that). [[User:Arcane|Arcane]] ([[User talk:Arcane|talk]]) 19:10, 31 October 2014 (GMT)
: To my knowledge, there isn't a lot of case law on CC attribution (though IANAL). The license itself is pretty vague, but really the answer is simple -- provide the best attribution that you can. On All The Tropes wiki, we put in every page's history the original location of the information, the name of the former wiki, and that page's history. If you're taking from another Mediawiki site, that metadata is usually included via Special:Export. You'll probably want to mention the source on your wiki's general disclaimer page or copyrights page. If the wiki was CC-BY, you can relicense it with virtually any other license that requires attribution, from the GFDL to CC-NC-BY-SA-ND. My own personal preference is CC-BY, though.
