RetroTechCollection>Mathglot: The suggested wording example was the wrong one, i.e., it was the one for original edits (i.e., WP:TFOLWP) when they didn't forget to add it. When this template is placed, it means by definition they forgot, so in that case it requires different wording, such as that proposed at WP:RIA.

The suggested wording example was the wrong one, i.e., it was the one for original edits (i.e., WP:TFOLWP) when they didn't forget to add it. When this template is placed, it means by definition they forgot, so in that case it requires different wording, such as that proposed at WP:RIA.

New page

{{{icon|[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]]}}} Thank you for [[Special:Contributions/{{<includeonly>safesubst:</includeonly>BASEPAGENAME}}|your contributions]] to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from {{<includeonly>safesubst:</includeonly>#if:{{{1|}}}|[[:{{{1|}}}]]|one or more pages}} to {{<includeonly>safesubst:</includeonly>#if:{{{to|}}}|[[:{{{to|}}}]]|another page}}. While you are welcome to translate Wikipedia content, here or elsewhere, [[WP:Copyrights|Wikipedia's licensing]] '''requires that you provide attribution''' to the contributor(s) of the original article. When translating from a foreign-language Wikipedia article, this is supplied at a minimum in an '''[[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]]''' on the page where you add translated content, identifying it as a translation and [[Help:Link#Wikilinks|linking]] it to the source page. Sample wording for this is given [[WP:TFOLWP|here]]. If you forgot, or were not aware of this requirement, attribution '''[[WP:RIA|must be given retroactively]]''', for example:
: <code><nowiki>NOTE: Content in the edit of 01:25, January 25, 2023 was translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Exact name of French article]]; see its history for attribution.</nowiki></code>
Retroactive attribution may be added using a [[WP:DUMMY|dummy edit]]; see [[WP:RIA|Repairing insufficient attribution]].
It is good practice, especially if translation is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{tl|translated page}} template on the talk page of the destination article. If you have added translated content previously which was not attributed at the time it was added, you must [[WP:RIA|add attribution retrospectively]], even if it was a long time ago. You can read more about author attribution and the reasons for it at [[WP:TFOLWP|Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia]]. {{<includeonly>safesubst:</includeonly>#if:{{{2|}}}|{{{2}}}|Thank you.}} <noinclude>
