The user template

[melina]

Just a quick note of encouragement to all users to complete a quick and easy user page.  For one thing, it means your name won't be red anymore!  For another, it will help us more accurate gauge our user base, which is always a good thing.

If you don't want to add a lot of information, that's fine.  Even just your name is a good starting place.

To add the user template, copy and paste this into your User:yourname page:

{{UserProfile
|names=
|fandoms=
|links=
}}

If you have any problems, please leave a comment and we'll help you get it sorted.

I have a question about licenses in the wiki

[ratcreature]

On the Fanlore:Copyright page it says "Fanlore's position is that the reproduction of zine covers and other fannish artwork falls constitutes a fair use under U.S. copyright law. Artists should be credited (in accordance with any privacy concerns)." -- so I gather if someone else say uploaded a copy of some fanart I posted online to illustrate something, Fanlore doesn't claim the uploaded artwork is theirs even though it is in the Wiki, and others couldn't take it under the "Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial license" that the wiki content is released under, the wiki just uses it.

But if I uploaded a copy of my own art to illustrate something (let's say it was even completely original, to not complicate it with the fanart aspect, like say I wanted to illustrate the "drawble" article, I could pick one that doesn't show characters I don't own), that would count as my original work, and be like text I contribute to the wiki, right? So my art, because I uploaded it myself as my original work, would then be automatically released to everyone under the wiki's CC license. Did I understand that right?
