Editing Skyscraper Wiki talk:Policy (section)

== Don't directly copy from the old Wiki. ==

The title says it all. Like what E1512 once said, it is better to rewrite in our own words, regardless whether the original articles' authors are still active or not. This may need to be officially added by an admin if I (or other people) see more articles here being directly copied from there.

:I'll definitely add that to the current rules. I did check [[Hayate TVB Tower]] and reworded most of the stuff to as what I would have written based on what was available. [[User:Elevator1512|Elevator1512]] ([[User talk:Elevator1512|talk]]) 08:49, 1 August 2024 (CDT)
::Thanks for this. I was also recently modifying the [[Integration Projects]] page to remove any direct copy-paste stuff as much as possible. [[User:MelvinMan10|MelvinMan10]] ([[User talk:MelvinMan10|talk]]) 09:31, 1 August 2024 (CDT)
:::Note to Mn10, I have now created a [[Template:Rewrite|new template]] dedicated to checking for articles that were copy-pasted from the old wiki so they can be rewritten to their own words. Tagged articles will also automatically be categorized under [[:Category:Articles that need rewriting]]. [[User:Elevator1512|Elevator1512]] ([[User talk:Elevator1512|talk]]) 23:03, 2 August 2024 (CDT)
