Nav templates should not be substituted
Templates like University of Calgary at the bottom of articles like Haskayne School of Business should not be subst'ed. That way, if the template is changed, the change is automatically made at all the articles that include the template. —C.Fred (talk) 18:49, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Jgcab, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Draft:Taylor Family Digital Library has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 13:31, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Please don't copy code of templates - transclude them instead
Hello, as already pointed in another comment above on this page, please defer from simply copying the code of templates (such as navigation boxes) into other articles. Instead, transclude the template there - by simply "inserting" it in VisualEditor, or using the curly bracket syntax in wikitext editor. I have just discovered and fix your imperfect attempt at inserting a navbox into the DNA Day article - which did not only break the template's uniformness (by creating another copy, instead of "invoking" the latest version of the code from the template's actual page), but in the act, you have also copied a part of the template's documentation (information about its being a collapsible template) into the article text aimed at readers, which looked misleading and made the article look very improfessional at least. Unfortunately, it had stayed like that for almost two months, but I remarked it and fixed the problem today. --Blahma (talk) 19:36, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
