- history merge since it was essentially forked without attribution. Frietjes (talk) 13:02, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Frietjes: History merges are used for cut-and-paste moves, which this was not. Rather, I added functionality to display test cases in columns to an already-established module. A history merge would not accurately reflect the history of the module - it would look like I just deleted all your code and replaced it with something completely unrelated. Also, attribution is required under CC BY-SA when copying copyrighted content, but I didn't copy your actual code. What I copied was your idea, and the testcase table API. Ideas aren't copyrightable, and APIs probably aren't either. I did add a header to attribute your contributions after we talked about this previously, but I don't think there is anything else that can reasonably be done. If you think of anything - other than a history merge - then let me know. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 02:47, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
- in my experience, the history would still indicate that it was a new creation. but, since that is unacceptable, replace with
return require('Module:Template test case')
which is the lua equivalent of a redirect, and redirects are usually what we do to preserve history when pages are forked without attribution. Frietjes (talk) 14:27, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
