Forum:Copying text from the English Sims Wiki

I've been told by that there are a number of users on the Brazilian-Portuguese The Sims Wiki were copying text directly from our English articles and pasting them directly into the PT-BR wiki. Normally, doing this was against the rules on the PT-BR wiki. However, with many newer users copy-and-pasting articles from our English wiki into the Portuguese wiki, some users want to lift this rule. To do this, they must "Ask for permission" to copy text from our wiki.

The CC-BY-SA license permits copying and pasting as long as the original author(s) is/are still credited. So as long as the users that copy and paste content from our articles provide a link to the page history in the edit summary, this should be (at least) better otherwise. They can also Special:Export pages from our wiki and Special:Import it to the PT-BR wiki, which will retain the page history and all author credit. This is a better alternative to simply copy and pasting, which does not retain the page history.

Should PT-BR be allowed to copy and paste content from our articles and add it to the PT-BR wiki? (Users from the Brazilian-Portuguese Wiki are welcome to participate in this discussion, as long as they use English) --I am  k6ka  Talk to me!   See what I have done  22:32, October 6, 2014 (UTC)
