Manual talk:Importing Wikipedia infoboxes tutorial

I cannot successfully get past step 2. What should specifically be pasted into the "Add pages from category"?

I was not able to get this to work

I successfully identified, exported and imported the approparite Templates, but they don't render property on the destination Wiki.

I have the ParserFunctions and ExpandTemplates extensions installed.

I still see funky rendering with the CSS (I'm using Vector) and red text errors.

What about licenses?

Wikipedia content is licensed CC-BY-SA by default -- does that include the Infobox templates? If so, what requirements does that impose on wikis that import them? Do I have to add an attribution clause at the top of each template I import? If my wiki is licensed GFPL, does that take care of the "SA" requirement? Klortho (talk) 19:14, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

yes it is dual licensed cc-by-sa & gfdl. You should include a note that you copied it from wikipedia and add a link to the history page at wikipedia. Bawolff (talk) 01:42, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Include Scribunto in the module namesapce

The manual says : Note that required templates may also include Scribunto modules in the module namesapce

There'isn't make automaticaly ?

Difficulty Importing Scribunto modules

It appears that many of the collapsible templates used in Wikipedia, that utilize Sribunto also require a number of lua modules, like Module:Hatnote, and Module:citation. Without these modules installed, the templates will produce lua error text, like {#invoke:Hatnote|hatnote}. We need to expand this article to show how to import the necessary modules

Making this less confusing

I think there are some concepts in here that could be signposted better. And especially it would help to provide a little more of the "why" behind the steps. (For example, why do I need WikiBase for a template? Why do we need a scripting language just to show an html box? It's still unclear to me after digging around the docs). I'd love to contribute some editing but I still need to successfully make this thing work for me!

I also think maybe we need to break it into more than 6 steps, because some of the individual steps have a lot going on.
