{{InfoCard|heading=Editors retain copyright ownership of their edits|content=This is not standard practice, as many wikis make all edits released under a free license. This is done due to the rules of the war game not being released under such a license.}}
{{InfoCard|heading=All edits are released under a free license|content=When you make edits, they are automatically released under the [[Project:Text of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License|Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License]]. This means your edits can be used by anyone, including commercially, so long as attribution in the form of a link/URL to the relevant wiki page is provided by the person doing so. You will ''not'', given this release, have the right to ask that any content you make be removed from this wiki..}}
{{InfoCard|heading=Editors grant this website a permanent, irrevocable license to retain and display their edits|content=Once an edit is published, the editor may not demand it's removal. They give this website the permanent and irrevocable license to retain and display it. This is done to avoid an editor who may have a falling out with the Endurance Coalition attempting to disrupt the wiki through demanding their content's removal.<br/><br/> Polite, reasonable, and unobtrusive requests for content to be removed are likely to be honored.}}
{{InfoCard|heading=Your IP address is logged|content=The software which runs this wiki logs your IP address to it's database every time you login to your account. This wiki uses the [[mw:Extension:CheckUser|CheckUser]] tool to view this data natively. This wiki holds IP data for 6 months. This tool is used '''exclusively''' to investigate potential account compromises and is only accessible to bureaucrats.<br/><br/>It is worth noting that IP addresses are not exactly private, and are exposed anytime an individual joins any Endurance Coalition controlled environment (e.g Arma server, Mordhau server).}}
