Following the discussion on Forum:SH:Copyright policy update and several past conversations between Wookieepedians via Discord, I believe we are ready to revamp Wookieepedia:Copyrights for greater transparency. No change will be made to Wookieepedia's copyright licensing terms under Fandom, which remains under CC BY-SA. The one major rule addition included in this proposal would be to specify "Never use generative artificial intelligence tools for your contributions."

Proposal linked here (diff). The templates at the top and category of course shall be added back as per standard.

  • The issue of {{Excerpt}} being used in articles was raised, and I'll be going through them to make sure that that template, which has the clunky copyright info message, is only used for talk pages per its intended purpose. Where replacing the Excerpt template with {{Quote}} is not possible, I'll swap it with a new {{ExcerptIU}} template specifically for those articles that would benefit from an excerpt template so as to keep track of them, but minus the clunky copyright text.
