Editing Template:Copied/doc (section)

== Usage ==
* Be sure to use the exact page names of the articles.
* The page names are automatically linked, so this template ''will not'' behave as expected if the names are enclosed in link brackets  (<nowiki>[[</nowiki> – ]]).
* Any number of items can be included in the same template by enumerating the parameters ({{para|from1}}, {{para|from2}}, {{para|from3}} and so on). The numbering has to be consecutive.

=== Cut/paste model ===
For a single page, you may paste the following and substitute in the correct values:

<code><nowiki>{{Copied |from=</nowiki>''SRC''<nowiki> |from_oldid=</nowiki>''SRC-REV''<nowiki> |to=</nowiki>''DEST''<nowiki> |date=</nowiki>''DATE''<nowiki> |to_diff=</nowiki>''DEST-COPYTO-REV''<nowiki> |to_oldid=</nowiki>''DEST-PREV-REV''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

===Parameters===
* <code>from</code> is the name of the source page, where the text originally appeared.
* <code>from_oldid</code> is the ID of the page revision of the source page from which the content was copied.
*: From the [[Help:Permanent link|permanent link]] url: <code><nowiki>http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=</nowiki><span style="color:red;">PAGENAME</span>&oldid=<span style="color:red;">from_oldid</span></code>
* <code>to</code> is the destination page, where the content was placed.
* <code>date</code> is the date, time and date, or timestamp that the copying took place at.
* <code>afd</code> is the name of the AfD page if copying was due to an AfD closed as merge.
* <code>merge</code> changes the text to indicate that copying was done in the process of [[Help:Merge|merging]] two pages if set to yes.
* <code>diff</code> is the [[Help:Diff|diff]] or permanent link of the destination page edit when the text was placed (in the case of a newly created page: the permanent url of the first version of the destination page).
*: These parameters are alternatives to the above and may be omitted if <code>diff</code> is used (and vice versa):
*:* <code>to_diff</code> is the ID of the page revision of the destination page that includes the copied content.
*:* <code>to_oldid</code> is the ID of the page revision of the destination page before the content was copied. If the copy ''created'' the destination page, just omit to_oldid.
*:: From the url: <code><nowiki>http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=</nowiki><span style="color:red;">PAGENAME</span>&diff=<span style="color:red;">to_diff</span>&oldid=<span style="color:red;">to_oldid</span></code>
* <code>collapse</code> indicates whether the list of mergers generated when the template is used with multiple items should be collapsed or not. 
* <code>small</code> is passed on to the <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Tmbox|Tmbox]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki> that is used to generate the message box. If set to yes, makes it a smaller right floating message box.
