Betreff: [wp-docs] Copyright implications of using templates taken from Wikipedia

There's been a few templates [1] added to Codex recently that are taken from Wikipedia.

Are there any copyright issues involved with using those templates in Codex?

The  person who added those templates wrote that he is connected to the mediawiki project. Maybe he is even the original author of those template or has copyright of it and can cross license it under GPL. I think you should ask him first.
