This template will add tagged articles to Category:Copied and pasted articles and sections.
Syntax[edit]
To place this template, simply add {{Copypaste}} to the top of the suspect article or section. You may optionally include 3 arguments - one showing the date the tag was added, a second specifying whether it is an entire article or just a section that is suspect, and a third linking to the url you believe contains the original text.
For example:
{{Copypaste|section|url=http://www.example.org/|date=February 2025}}produces:
| This may have been copied and pasted from http://www.example.org/, possibly in violation of copyright. Please remedy this by editing this article to remove any non-free copyrighted content and attributing free content correctly, or flagging the content for deletion. (February 2025) |
