ZAM credits this article at Guild Wars 2 Wiki for some of the info in this article.
Licensed under the GFDL.

Usage

{{GW2Wiki|pagename|info=|nolink=}}

pagename

(REQUIRED)The pagename of the page at GW2Wiki that we referenced. Simply putting MAIN PAGE or some such here is NOT valid. In order for the citation to correctly fulfil the letter of the GFDL license this needs to be the page name on their site so it links directly to the source of the borrowed material.
info=
describe what information was borrowed, or leave blank for "some of the info in this article".
nolink=
display the credit box but do not link it nor check for GFDL-compliance.

On pages that have the exact same name on both sites, the easiest way to add this tag is:

  • {{GW2Wiki|{{PAGENAME}}}}

The site referenced above is published under the GFDL. All contributors who use information from other GFDL-published fansites are encouraged to read the GFDL, paying special attention to sections 2, 4 and 5.

Under section 4, subsection J, we must "Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission."

This means that we must have a subsection heading, at the bottom of the document, such as ==History== and that we must place accreditation information (templated or otherwise) under that section. If the source document also has a History section, you must add that to the History section on our article.

Additionally, you CANNOT leave the pagename field blank when using a GFDL-Credit template, and the template should display an error box if you do.

If our article uses footnotes, please put the <references> tag below the History section.
