Wikivoyage talk:How to re-use Wikipedia content

Merge
I think most of this is covered at Cooperating with Wikipedia. And since we mostly discourage recycling WP content here, why devote a policy article to it? --Peter Talk 03:00, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The 'coop' article deals with a lot more than this article does, and also talks about how to contribute to MediaWiki, which I'd say is a bit off-topic compared to the purpose of this guideline. This article is written with the average or new [Wikipedia] contributor in mind, and designed to tell what new users can or can not do. Some parts of Wikipedia content is ideal to use on Wikivoyage, and since we will see a lot of copy-paste behaviour here, we need a pollicy of how to deal with it. This article was in used on 'old' WV as well. For example, on sv; we include this policy in our welcome template, just to make sure that new users do not copy-paste loads and loads of encyclopedic material. It has served us well, and continue to do so. Furthermore, we are not short of space, so a guideline like this is not really taking up a lot of server capacity.
