- As noted at
  Wikipedia:Template messages/Sister projects#Wikinews, "Moving pages to Wikinews is not possible, for legal reasons. Copying material to Wikinews would relicense it under the CC-By license, which is incompatible with CC-By-SA and GFDL. However Wikinews articles can be moved to Wikipedia."^[1]

Notes

^ Although both CC-By-SA and CC-By are Creative Commons licenses with similar intent, CC-By is a more liberal license, as it is only concerned with ensuring that the original content (correctly attributed) remains free. CC-By-SA requires that derivatives built upon the original work also remain free. CC-By-SA material cannot be relicensed to CC-By since the freedom of derivative works is not required. Contrarily, derivatives of CC-By material can be relicensed under CC-By-SA so long as attribution is supplied for the original.
