:The CC license was changed back btw, as it turns out (as confirmed by MH staff) that it was fine and was compatible all along as it was. Yes, for some reason I had thought you meant including code samples, which I really couldn’t understand why that would be even necessary, I misread that bit, so thanks for clarifying. I think paraphrasing text or changing its wording or order a bit, is good enough (as it is in most contexts to constitute a change) it does not need to be copied/pasted from the readme). The examples given can also be changed (and I’d probably want to change them anyway, since I generally have a plan for examples that I’m still fleshing out). Before updating things, my personal approach was to import, rename, reformat the text and fix bad/dead links and naming etc, and generally get the past examples working before integrating the new stuff. I’m still in the process of doing the former because it is also helping me to find some old bugs for reporting, and identify bits that were missing in the documentation altogether. So far there have been 3 bug reports identified but I still have a long way to ggo in finishing off reformatting and fixing the old pages.
== Request for ManageWiki settings ==
Could I use 1) wikitext mode in Visual Editor? It can be found in [[Special:ManageWiki/settings#mw-section-editing]] 2) Extension:PortableInfobox to reduce the effort to implement infoboxes. I think CA is also familiar with that because CA is the maintainer of the extension. But this may be an overkill solution. Feel free to about this.

:After some thought on this, I’m actually going to disable VE and discussion tools on this wiki. When looking at pages and examples (and especially having links to pre-load examples into ‘’’source edit’’’ for people to test and try), the source code really needs to be worked in; VE complicates that. I get that a lot of people get used to working with VE so they don’t need to use, learn or type wiki syntax, but since DPL3 use itself relies on wiki syntax, and knowledge of it, it doesn’t make good sense from a teaching/learning perspective to enable ways around that. There comes a point where knowing and working with wiki syntax is important, this context is part of that.
:As far as portableinfoboxes goes, since this site is intended as documentation for the DPL3 extension in general, linked from the MediaWiki manual site (and not just for Miraheze or Fandom wikis, where portable infobox use is wider), I’d like to stay away from portableinfobox formatting. I’d like to keep all examples as simple and as universal as possible. In this sense I do feel it is overkill, sorry.
