FAQ

 * Why is Wikigogy closing?
 * As a result of a personal decision by its owner.


 * Why don't we link back to the original page in Wikigogy?:
 * There is now no content in the original page.
 * Wikigogy will disappear at some point and that would simply create a broken link.
 * Including the article history gives sufficient attribution.


 * Why does the lesson content go into a different namespace?
 * We wish to keep the encyclopaedic and other content separate. See Help:Working with special spaces.


 * What will happen to the article content at Wikigogy?
 * At some point that may be merged with the Teflpedia content. At the moment the lesson content is the easiest to transfer.


 * I've seen a reference to TEFL China. What is this?
 * TEFL China is another wiki owned and managed by the owner of Wikigogy. Some China-specific material may be transferred there from Wikigogy.  The details of this have yet to be worked out but we will probably not wish to duplicate content.


 * What about copyright issues?
 * Wikigogy and Teflpedia have identical copyright licences which means they can share content. The transferred lessons carry a banner attributing Wikigogy and we are importing the history. If article content is merged in the future then a talk page banner will be applied.


 * What should the two wikis look like I've finished?
 * Here is an article transferred to Teflpedia. Here is what remains of that article at Wikigogy.


 * Why are your transferring articles individually?
 * We are still testing the process. At some point we might try to transfer by category as the facility seems to exist.
