== Category ==
The includeonly section of this template uses this line
 <nowiki>{{{category|[[Category:Copied and pasted articles and sections]]}}}</nowiki>
shouldn't it simply be
 <nowiki>[[Category:Copied and pasted articles and sections]]</nowiki>
instead? —[[User talk:Dv82matt|dv82matt]] 05:01, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

== Is this template in Category:Copyright maintenance templates? ==
Displaying {{tl|copypaste}} shows "Copyright maintenance templates" as a category to which this template belongs, yet visiting that category doesn't show it among the templates listed there. [[User:Wdfarmer|Wdfarmer]] ([[User talk:Wdfarmer|talk]]) 08:48, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

== Reference to [[WP:NPS]] needed? ==
The template's displayed message includes references to [[WP:LAYOUT]] and [[WP:STYLE]], but it seems to me that a reference to [[WP:NPS]] would be even more relevant.  Or is there a better template than {{tl|copypaste}} to annotate sections that include lengthy quotations from published books?  For context, see my usage of the template in [[Antichrist#Dispensational (Christian) beliefs]]. [[User:Wdfarmer|Wdfarmer]] ([[User talk:Wdfarmer|talk]]) 08:16, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

== Reword the advice? ==
{{[[Template:editprotected|editprotected]]}}
It has been suggested at [[Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)#Template:Copypaste]] that the first sentence of the advice be reworded to take out the phrase "original source" as this is unclear and might even be confused with legitimising Original Research. The following alternative wording has been suggested: 
<blockquote>"Please edit this article to replace or remove any nonfree copyrighted content and attribute free content correctly."</blockquote>
What do we think? Is this wording acceptable/optimal? --[[User:DanielRigal|DanielRigal]] ([[User talk:DanielRigal|talk]]) 21:08, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
:Well, nobody has objected, so I guess it is OK to add <nowiki>{{editprotected}}</nowiki> to request that this wording be adopted. --[[User:DanielRigal|DanielRigal]] ([[User talk:DanielRigal|talk]]) 22:45, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
:Done. --- [[User:RockMFR|RockMFR]] 02:10, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

== This template must be deprecated at once ==
I'm a bit gobsmacked to find that this template exists.

Let me explain.  Our content policy requires that material that isn't the work of the author ''must not ever'' be edited into an article.  The action taken on finding such illegally copied text is outlined in our  [[Wikipedia:Copyright violations|Copyright violations]] policy (WP:COPYVIO)).  In extreme cases the problematic content is replaced with a {{tl|copyvio}} template which, unlike this one, requires the tagging editor to identify the copypaste source he has identified.  The article is then rewritten and the history is purged.

That this template has been used for so long has caused a lot of damage, because if now we find a tagged article it may be impossible to identify what the source of the copypaste was.

This template must be deprecated at once.  Those mistakenly using a broken process instead of the ones described in our [[Wikipedia:Copyright violations|Copyright violations]] policy (WP:COPYVIO)) should immediately switch to using those tried and tested processes. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway]] ([[User talk:Tony Sidaway|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tony Sidaway|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

:Well I don't now about that, but I am sure that linking to the freshly-minted [[WP:COPYPASTE]] from this template is more helpful than linking to the Wikipedia ''article'' [[Cut, copy, and paste]]. So I've updated that. [[User:Rd232|Rd232]] <sup>[[user talk:rd232|talk]]</sup> 12:35, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

== Showing in [[:Category:Copied and pasted articles and sections with url provided]] ==

The template is showing in [[:Category:Copied and pasted  articles and sections with url provided]]. Is there anyway to remove this? --[[User:MWOAP|MWOAP]] ([[User talk:MWOAP|talk]]) 21:16, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
: The way this was done, by copying the template code just without the category part to the documentation, is not a good idea, since that way changes in the template will not be visible in the documentation. Is there a better way? [[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) 23:35, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
: The way to do this is by using the code I proposed at [[User_talk:Rich_Farmbrough#Issues]]. [[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) 23:45, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

== Small documentation change ==

According to AnomieBOT, hard at work yesterday, the current syntax is <nowiki>{{Copypaste|date=December 2010|section|<url>}}</nowiki>,<br />
however, both this page and /doc are still recommending the classic Gregorian Calendar syntax:<br />
<nowiki>{{Copypaste|January 1, 2007|...</nowiki><br />
Merry Christmas, [[User:Varlaam|Varlaam]] ([[User talk:Varlaam|talk]]) 20:23, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

== Warning when specifying url ==

I just added a warning to the documentation, that when a url is provided, it must be as the last parameter. All parameters following the url will be considered by the template to be part of the url. Can that be fixed? [[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) 23:32, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

: Actually I have been shown wrong by [[User:Rich Farmbrough]]. The reason something did go wrong on the documentation page must have been because of the {{Tl|Tlx}} template involved. I have removed the warning from the documentation, obviously. [[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) 21:15, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

== Request ==

{{tl|Editprotected}}

The category handling can be significantly improved.

Please replace <code><nowiki><includeonly>{{DMCA|Copied and pasted articles and sections|from|{{{date|}}}|All copied and pasted articles and sections}}{{#if:{{{url|}}}|{{{category|[[Category:Copied and pasted articles and sections with url provided]]}}}}}</includeonly></nowiki></code> by <code><nowiki>{{DMCA|Copied and pasted articles and sections{{#if:{{{url|}}}|&-#-32-;with url provided}}|from|{{{date|}}}|All copied and pasted articles and sections}}</nowiki></code>.

Note that 1. the ''includeonly'' tags are not needed in the new code 2. "&-#-32-;" should be written without the dashes. 3. The new code removes the double categorization when a url is provided, which was superfluous and, in all likelihood, unintended by the editor who created the "url provided" category. [[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) 12:17, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

== Sandbox rework ==

I've created a sandbox with some significant reworking of this template.

== Requiring an original source to be provided ==

I'm often torn about the existence of this template but use it myself for short term tagging when I'm deciding whether or not the article can be saved or not.

My issue with this template is that it's sometimes used by editors who don't indicate what portion of text seems to be a copyright violation and don't indicate where they think the text has been taken from.  I realize that there are cases where one may feel that the text has been copy/pasted onto WP but can't find a source but I think this template should be applied based on a "gut feeling" (personally, I think another template should exist for that).

What do you think about requiring an original source to be listed when using this template?  It obviously doesn't have to be an online source that the duplicate detector can check but I feel that applying this template with no indication of what text "''may''" be a violation or where it came from defeats the purpose of using it. '''[[User:OlYeller21|<span style="color:#827839;">Ol<span style="color:#FBB117;">Yeller21</span></span>]]'''[[User_talk:OlYeller21|<sup style="color:#827839;">Talktome</sup>]] 20:01, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
:The template you describe, which can be applied when it is suspected that an article or section is copy/pasted but no source is available, is {{Tl|Cv-unsure}}. I agree that requiring a source to be provided when using {{Tl|Copypaste}} would make the template more useful for editors that seek to identify and rectify the problem. When a source cannot be provided, the less certain {{Tl|Cv-unsure}} can be used. --[[User:Credema|Credema]] ([[User talk:Credema|talk]]) 18:46, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

== Userspace page not being categorized ==

Any idea why the template placed on [[User:MKindy/sandbox]] is not adding it to the tracking category? [[User:Monty845|<span style="color:green;">Monty</span>]][[User talk:Monty845|<small><sub style="color:#A3BFBF;">845</sub></small>]] 15:11, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

== Article, Section, or Text ==

I feel this template needs more granularity in being able to be applied to part of a section. Instead of just being placed at the start of a section, it would be useful to place the template mid-section with text like "This '''Text''' may have been copied and pasted...". I realise the report shows duplicate text, but being placed just above the suspicious text would do a better job of warning the readers, and drawing attention to the text which editors need to address.

::Yes, except the documentation says to use it at "the top of the suspect ''article or section''". If someone can find a way of elegantly modifying the documentation (with an example?) so that the template can be used to target specific text ''within'' a section, then so much the better; if not, then it's no biggie.

==print sources==

{{edit template-protected|ans=y}} Since the Earwig copyvio checker also works without an URL, I thought that adding it to the template (like so: <nowiki><sup>([https://tools.wmflabs.org/copyvios/?lang=en&project=wikipedia&title={{{2|{{{page|{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}}}}}}}&action=search&use_engine=1&use_links=1 CopyVio Search])</sup></nowiki>) might render it more useful; see [[Template:Copypaste/sandbox|the template sandbox]] for the sandboxed code and how it displays.[[User:Jo-Jo Eumerus|Jo-Jo Eumerus]] ([[User talk:Jo-Jo Eumerus|talk]], [[Special:Contributions/Jo-Jo Eumerus|contributions]]) 12:44, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
