Guidelines for use of Wikipedia in WeRelate, including the include templates

• automatically include opening of Wikipedia article: {{source-wikipedia|wikipedia page name}} e.g. put this on the WeRelate page Place:Kankakee, Kankakee, Illinois, United States WeRelate Page: {{source-wikipedia|Kankakee, Illinois}} = (link to Wikipedia) until the weekly agent is run and information from Wikipedia is pulled in and the templates get changed to the Wp and the Wikipedia-notice templates.
• If there exists a corresponding Wikipedia page, but the Wikipedia content is not wanted on the WeRelate page, use a more info link to link WR page to corresponding Wikipedia page: {{moreinfo wikipedia|wikipedia page name}} e.g. put this on the WeRelate page Place:Kankakee, Kankakee, Illinois, United States WeRelate Page: {{moreinfo wikipedia|Kankakee, Illinois}} = see the Wikipedia article Kankakee, Illinois
• Merged Page: {{Merged Page}} =
