	~~Here follows a list of the main licences~~ used ~~on images on~~ the ''Assassin's Creed'' ~~Wiki~~.		The licence used most frequently by the Assassin's Creed Wiki is '''fair use''', as most images are being sourced from games or other media and uploaded here with the purposes of illustrating written contents.

	*Images from ''Assassin's Creed'' material (including games, comics, promotional trailers, etc.)		The wiki has separate licensing templates for indicating fair use, as well as others for options beyond fair use. The following list contains the licensing templates that can be used, with explanations as to each specific case.
	**[[Template:Cc-by-sa-3.0\|<nowiki>{{Cc-by-sa-3.0}}</nowiki>]] – This licence should be used on all images deriving from ~~''Assassin's Creed'' (and~~ other ~~[[Ubisoft]] IPs)~~. ~~By default~~, ~~Ubisoft allow images from their IPs~~ to ~~be used without question~~, ~~so long as proper attribution is given.~~
	*Images from other games or books		=== Images under fair use ===
	**[[:Template:Screenshots\|<nowiki>{{Screenshots}}~~</nowiki>]] –~~ This licence should be used for images taken from copyrighted website, video game graphic, computer program graphic, television broadcast, or films ~~that are not already covered by Cc-by-sa-3~~.0 (i.e. ~~IPs not owned by Ubisoft)~~, ~~unless the uploader can prove such images come from sources who also provide similar permissions of use~~.		For images from ''Assassin's Creed'' material (including games, comics, promotional trailers, etc.) or from any other games or books. Unless you have express permission from an external source to use an image, or the image isn't already covered by a specific shareable licence to begin with, please use one of the following:
	*Images used with express permission
	**[[:Template:Express\|<nowiki>{{Express}}~~</nowiki>]] –~~ This licence should only be used when said image has been permitted for use on the wiki by the original author of the media~~. For~~ example, ~~[[:File:Juno.jpg]] (~~a piece of unreleased concept art for ''[~~[Assassin~~'s ~~Creed: Brotherhood]~~]''~~) was obtained~~ for ~~use solely on~~ the ~~wiki~~, ~~on the condition adequate attribution be given~~.		* '''{{t\|Screenshots}}''' – This licence should be used for screenshot images taken from a copyrighted website, video game graphic, computer program graphic, television broadcast, or films.
	*Self-made images
	**[[:Template:Self\|<nowiki>{{Self}}~~</nowiki>]] –~~ This licence should be used for any images originally created by the uploader. By uploading your images onto the wiki, you are agreeing to release them into the ~~[[Wikipedia:Public domain\|Public~~ domain]], granting others automatic permission to use your images so long as sufficient attribution is given.		* '''{{t\|Fairuse}}''' – This licence is similar to the above, but for images other than screenshots (e.g.: cover art for a game or comic, promotional posters, etc.)
