== Purpose of Copying and Pasting Content Between WIKIs ==
Note: if you like a WIKI that basically has all the content you need, it may be simpler to just make an external link to that Wiki.
* Obtain Examples
Let'slook at the first two issues and seek a solution: ==== Copy WIKI Contents (not edit screen) ==== Look at the following images below for reference:* Assume have "logged into our WIKI and we are in edit mode. Refer to '''Image 1'''.* We then launch another web-browser Window, locate another WIKI (not in edit), highlight the contents, and selecting '''EDIT - > COPY''' from the browser menu (or press '''ctrl-c'''). Refer to '''Image 2'''.* When then switch back to our web-browser and paste the copied text by selecting '''EDIT - > PASTE''' from the browser menu (or press '''ctrl-v''')* The problem is that the "tags" to indicate links and formatting weren't copied. Why? Because we weren't in the edit screen! Refer to '''Image 3'''.* In order to fix this problem, we would need to manually add in the tags. Refer to '''Image 4'''.* Then save your editing session, and you should have an exact duplicate of contents copied from another WIKI. Refer to '''Image 5'''. <table> <tr> <td>[[Image:copy1a.png|thumb|100px|Image 1 ]]</td> <td>[[Image:copy1b.png|thumb|100px|Image 2 ]]</td> <td>[[Image:copy1c.png|thumb|100px|Image 3 ]]</td> <td>[[Image:copy1d.png|thumb|100px|Image 4 ]]</td> <td>[[Image:copy1e.png|thumb|100px|Image 5 ]]</td> </tr></table>
