Is linking in the sitemap on a webpage that uses Wikimedia-contents enough?

Hello,

i am working on a tourist webpage where i want to use WikiMedia-contents in PopUps on a map. Thus to the fact that there will be hundreds of seperate PopUps, my question is if i have to post the name of the creator and attribution parties, a copyright notice, a license notice, a disclaimer notice, and a link to the material directly in every PopUp or if it is enough to post the credits in the sitemap on the page.

It would be awesome if you could help me! Thanks, Manuel

I cannot provide real advice about legal matters, but I think that just a link to the article history and one to the license (currently Creative Commons BY-SA 3.0 for Wikipedia, may be different for other projects) should be fine.

Anyway, an extended form of the attribution (details about the license, etc.) could be placed in the page footer.

But if you only include very small portions of text that do not exceed the threshold of originality, attribution is not required.
