Project talk:PD help/Copying

Hm, why should Image:Wiki.png being copied? There's another default image for new installations, or not? -- :Bdk: 19:56, 1 December 2006 (UTC)


 * It's used as the example in Help:Images. I think the example image from Help:Templates and the screenshots should also be copied, and possibly the one from the meta template. (The bot doesn't copy that one, since it rewrites that template to avoid dependence on the interwiki table). -Steve Sanbeg 21:30, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Good point :-) I didn't think of that use. I've now substituted it with the new Example.jpg, which is, in addition, useful to have when you use the image button in the edit toolbar. Hope this is ok. -- :Bdk: 10:49, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Seems reasonable, and more in line with the license for this project. I just made the same change to template:thankyou.  Unfortunately, that doesn't have the PD header, but it is a pretty trivial template. -Steve Sanbeg 17:25, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Shouldn't the images included in templates be added too? Like the one in the admin tips and languages template? 82.11.41.163 20:08, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The languages template isn't useful offsite, so that should just be blanked on the remote wiki. The admin tip/meta imags may be useful, though.  The list may be tricky to keep up to date; it may require someone who follows that process to fix it for the current version, or a bot to maintain the list. -Steve Sanbeg 22:29, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know if it is because I have "ugly" links or if it was due to the export and importation process, but I have to edit each image link to fit in proper underscore characters. I'm having to go around all of my imported help pages fixing image links. -- Rezanow 05:24, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Templates not Exporting
This is great. Been looking for a comprehensive HOWTO to get some help files. However I noticed that some of the files mentioned did not export. For example Template:Click did not work. If you go to Special:Export and only add Template:Click to the list you'll get an XML with the header but no content.

Nothing about Template:Click. Any ideas?
