Talk:PHP

Wikipedia content
I don't like being a party-pooper, but I don't think it's a good idea to copy Wikipedia's content over. I have heard read from numerous respectable administrators (including, responsible for Wikipedia's initial success) and experienced first-hand that this stifles new content and leaves the destination page as merely a cheap copy which Wikipedia can beat easily. For that matter, Wikipedia can beat anything we do easily and so wikis which don't intend encyclopedic scope should steer clear of most issues (and all verbatim pages, per above) addressed there.

I know, I was thinking of just a brief summary for certain articles that are copied from Wikipedia. 00:06, July 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * I just noticed that the PHP portal was removed in the process... I'll let you decide how to resolve that conflict, as I have a bias in favor of portals. =p --Jesdisciple (talk) 00:55, July 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Last time I saw the PHP page was when the portal was still there. But it looked like it wasn't working. I'll put it back with the information. 18:03, July 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Apparently I forgot to make the interwiki link template, but that wasn't obvious because Joeman had put a placeholder there that didn't do anything. Fixed. --Jesdisciple (talk) 21:06, July 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok. 18:25, July 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh come on guys! We can copy it over, plus we can remove, revise, and re-word it. Chairsenses 23:35, July 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but we only need a short summary on this anyways cause it's not one of the major articles (or is it?). 16:09, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
