Wikipedia warning
== Copying text from Wikipedia ==
Hi! While it's acceptable to copy text from Wikipedia, since they use a compatible license, it is very important that you acknowledge that fact; not doing so is equivalent to stealing. It's so important, in fact, that there is a special template for that purpose. Simply add something like
'''{{Wikipedia|Chemical King}}'''
and it produces {{Wikipedia|Chemical King}}
It's also possible to include the references, since we have a similar template to their {{tl|comic book reference}}.
Please note that '''only''' sites that use a compatible license can be used in this way. Most websites are protected by copyright laws, and using their work without permission is not only immoral but illegal.
Other notes
- How does Category:Graphic Novels differ from Category:One Shots?
- Do we want TV and Film Realities in Defunct and Existing, or should those be reserved for comic book realities?
- Should Elseworlds/TV Realities be listed separately in Hypertime Realities or just left as subcats?
- How is {{Cnst}} different from {{CnstNL}}?
- Does {{Character Template}} duplicate DCDatabase:Character Template and if so, why?
