We'll see if it is still there if RationalWiki comes back online. Lumenos 08:04, 6 September 2009 (EDT)

You might want to tread lightly there, since I wrote most of both of those wiki's articles on each other. There's a bit of humor trickling around in there I suspect. Huw Powell 18:55, 20 September 2009 (EDT)

Copyright-- nofollow attribute

The WikiSynergy copyright requires websites that use their work, to not use the nofollow html attribute.

I'm not certain but I don't think most wikifarms would allow the nofollow attribute to be turned off (or removed). Does this copyright requirement make it impossible to legally use it on wikifarms? Lumenos 18:39, 20 September 2009 (EDT)

They put this in a section titled, "Attribution" but I wonder if this is really want is meant by "attribution" in a Creative Commons license. From CC-BY-SA-3.0 "Attribution — You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work)." It is difficult to say whether removing nofollow, is more like an "endorsement" or "attribution". The purpose of it must be to give them higher rankings with search engines.

I raised the issue there and Purple Scissor removed the requirement to remove the nofollow property! In case anyone cares, this makes WikiSynergy my new favorite wiki. Aren't they lucky? =) Lumenos 22:50, 12 June 2010 (EDT)
