Summary

To recognize the contributors of articles previously published elsewhere, WHTwiki has attribution statements that can appear with these articles.

Previously published articles that can be published at WHTwiki

Previously published articles about topics relevant to WHT are welcome with these conditions:

• They are added to WHTwiki by people who wrote and own the copyright to the article.
• They are within WHTwiki policies.
• The copyright holder understands and accepts that other people may contribute to the article after it's been published at WHTwiki.

Recognition of previously published articles

To acknowledge both the author and the source, WHTwiki has an attribution statement that can be added to the end of previously published articles. It links to these pages:

• The web page where the article was previously published (in WHT tutorials or at another website)
• The member's WHT username
• The original version of the article published at WHTwiki

How to use the WHTwiki attribution statement

If you wrote and own the copyright to an article that you'd like to publish at WHTwiki, follow these steps:

Publish your article at WHTwiki

• Publish it in WHTwiki as you would any other new WHTwiki page.
• Edit the article if necessary to convert it to a wiki article, and save it.

If you have articles that you'd like to have published at WHTwiki but don't have time to do the above, open a helpdesk ticket, and an admin can help you.

Add the attribution statement

• Click on the History link for the page you've just created and copy the link to the version of the article that you want the attribution statement to link to.
• Add the attribution statement coding (see below) at the end of the article, leaving a blank line between it and the Category line below it.
• Replace [attribution statement content here] with the attribution statement content (see below).
• Preview the page to check it.
• Save the page.

Or if you prefer, you can use the Report this Page link at the right of the page to request an admin to add the attribution statement.

The attribution statement coding looks like this:

{{AuthorBox
| content = [attribution statement content here]
}}

The attribution statement content looks like this:
