Two things

First: Aaaaaargh!

Second: Copyright: The LessWrong wiki is under the GFDL, RW is under CC-BY-SA, and the two are incompatible.--ZooGuard (talk) 08:00, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

It was my impression that a page-specific warning, as on many essay pages, suffices to override the general copyright terms of RW. Is that not the case?--^talk 08:11, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

“”RationalWiki may include material which is not original content, and this does not necessarily fall under the CC-BY-SA.

Ah, good. This would be easier if LW used CC-BY-SA, and hadn't just kept the default license of Wikia, but this does appear to mean I am right: with correct acknowledgement of GFDL on the page, it will meet all GFDL requirements. I think, anyway.--^talk 10:25, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Not really... But that's mostly because GFDL is an atrocious turdstain, rather than any fault of ours. I would seriously just claim "fair use" for the moment and hope LessWrong doesn't care. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 10:38, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Hm. So the requirement that is in the way is the necessity for the full license to be attached? It can just go in a collapsible box at the top-right of the article.

I mean, it doesn't make any sense that RW, which explicitly provides for alternate licensing of different pages, can't display a selection of text that explicitly provides methods by which it can be legally displayed. As near as I can tell, GFDL just demands that the full license be attached after the title, which can be met easily enough with the magic of wiki-boxes. Is there something I'm missing in this frustrating labyrinth of poorly-conceived legalese that is this license?--^talk 10:49, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Oh hey there's already a template!--^talk 10:50, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Deconstructing LW

I didn't think it could be done any more than it has. Congratulations, sir. Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 00:25, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Work in progress still, but thanks!--^talk 00:50, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
