	:::(As for the question asked on my talk page - regarding Wook's [[w:c:starwars:Template:Comicpanel\|Comicpanel template]] - how the licensing information is displayed is up to each wiki's community/admins. I personally think it's a really good idea to have specific templates for certain media (game, comics, etc.) that go more in depth like that, as it probably helps with specifying how fair use is intended to be used on the wiki, but admins aren't forced to have that same description everywhere - there's some freedom to choose how the licensing templates look as long as the main info is there.) –[[User:ReverieCode\|ReverieCode]] <staff/> 14:48, 8 May 2023 (UTC)		:::(As for the question asked on my talk page - regarding Wook's [w:c:starwars:Template:Comicpanel\|Comicpanel template]] - how the licensing information is displayed is up to each wiki's community/admins.

			:::So, basically, CC-BY-SA would only apply if the image being used is explicitly stated to be CC-BY-SA before being uploaded here. If you're sourcing them from an official website, and it says "these images are CC-BY-SA", then you would need to indicate them to have that license and attribute to where they're coming from. (Same as if you were to copy a wiki's text into another website - that is CC-BY-SA according to Fandom, so you'd need to indicate this, and link to the original page where it was written first, for instance.)

	:If there are any files that have been switched to CC-BY-SA after having another license prior, then those ~~likely~~ have the wrong licensing information, which ~~could~~ cause some problems with the creators/lincense holders - basically, a wiki can't change a file's original license just by using it (otherwise, everyone would do it :P). So unless there's a source indicating the image was CC-BY-SA before, images [https://assassinscreed.fandom.com/wiki/File:ACII_Guards_by_Nicolas_Colling.jpg such as this one] for instance could have the wrong licensing info. –[[User:ReverieCode\|ReverieCode]] <staff/> 08:37, 2 May 2023 (UTC)		:If there are any files that have been switched to CC-BY-SA after having another license prior, then those could have the wrong licensing information, which might cause some problems with the creators/lincense holders - basically, a wiki can't change a file's original license just by using it (otherwise, everyone would do it :P).

	:::(As for the question asked on my talk page - regarding Wook's [[w:c:starwars:Template:Comicpanel\|Comicpanel template]] - how the licensing information is displayed is up to each wiki's community/admins. I personally think it's a really good idea to have specific templates for certain media (game, comics, etc.) that go more in depth like that, as it probably helps with specifying how fair use is intended to be used on the wiki, but admins aren't forced to have that same description everywhere - there's some freedom to choose how the licensing templates look as long as the main info is there.) –[[User:ReverieCode\|ReverieCode]] <staff/> 14:48, 8 May 2023 (UTC)		:::(As for the question asked on my talk page - regarding Wook's [[w:c:starwars:Template:Comicpanel\|Comicpanel template]] - how the licensing information is displayed is up to each wiki's community/admins.

	::::So besides game screenshots, all images, whether they are concept art like [[:File:ACB Juno Concept.jpg]], a cropped render like [[:File:ACB Juno render.png]], or a textless comic panel like [[:File:AC Dynasty - Li E thanking Yan Jiming.jpg]], should use {Fairuse}? Because besides ArtStation files or new promotional images from IGN, Eurogamer, etc., I don't think many images are uploaded here from other external sources, and I highly doubt said other sources cite their files as CC-BY-SA. – [[User:Darman36\|<span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;font-size:15px;color:#">Darman</span>]] ([[User talk:Darman36\|<span style="font-family:Viner Hand ITC;color:#">talk</span>]]) 15:25, 8 May 2023 (UTC)		::::So besides game screenshots, all images, whether they are concept art like [[:File:ACB Juno Concept.jpg]], a cropped render like [[:File:ACB Juno render.png]], or a textless comic panel like [[:File:AC Dynasty - Li E thanking Yan Jiming.jpg]], should use {Fairuse}?

			:::::Yes, that would be correct. To give a few Wook examples, you can find [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/File:Inquisitor_Cal_concept_art.jpg an original concept art], [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/File:CereJuda-JFO.png a cropped render of concept art], [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/File:Aphra-Reis.png cropped render of comic cover art], and [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/File:Aphra_is_saved.jpg a textless comic panel] - all are uploaded under "fair use". They just have variations of the fair use template that specify what the file is (and seems to also help them with their own category organization), but they have the same reasoning for uploading them into the wiki. Then, a [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/File:Prauf_Foreman_Cal.png game screenshot] is from the game itself, so that's all you could indicate as a source. –[[User:ReverieCode\|ReverieCode]] <staff/> 09:13, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

	::Hello ReverieCode,<br>Thank you for clarifying this, I knew I was missing important information and was unaware how detailed Fandom's policy was, as I had not read it thoroughly. Does this mean, though, that the nearly 12,000 images on this site tagged with CC-BY-SA are '''''all''''' incorrect and should be using <nowiki>{{Fairuse}} or {{Permission}}</nowiki> instead? – [[User:Darman36\|<span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;font-size:15px;color:#">Darman</span>]] ([[User talk:Darman36\|<span style="font-family:Viner Hand ITC;color:#">talk</span>]]) 23:40, 2 May 2023 (UTC)		::Hello ReverieCode,<br>Thank you for clarifying this, I knew I was missing important information and was unaware how detailed Fandom's policy was, as I had not read it thoroughly.

			:::Yes, I'm checking with staff and that seems to be the case. I will raise this on the Discord server as well so that the admins/mods are aware - it's likely that most need to be using <nowiki>{{Fairuse}}</nowiki> and other templates like <nowiki>{{Permission}}</nowiki> would need to be added to any images where people know they've gotten permission to use them. It's a bit of a mess currently, but I'm sure it can be sorted :P –[[User:ReverieCode\|ReverieCode]] <staff/> 08:49, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
