*Release '''your own work''' under the [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.en '''Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license'''], making it available to the whole world irrevocably so long as anyone who uses it credits you and shares any remixs of such work under a similar license; or

*Retain full copyright ownership of '''your own work''', but give this wiki the '''permanent''' and '''irrevocable''' license to retain and display it; or

*Upload work that '''isn't yours''', in which case this wiki will attempt to argue a fair use rationale to retain and display the file.

Note that uploading work that isn't yours which is also paywalled, such as material (or screenshots of material) only available on Patreon, is '''not eligible for inclusion on this wiki'''. If a paywalled file is discovered, the file will be deleted. Continual violations will result in revocation of editing privileges. If in doubt, contact a wiki administrator.

When uploading work that isn't yours, please provide a link to where you got the material and name the creator/copyright holder (e.g if uploading an image of Mario, link to where you downloaded it and state "Nintendo" as the copyright holder) to provide them credit. If you do not, you will be contacted to provide such information, and/or the file will be deleted.

The above guidelines are in place to protect the wiki from legal action. Sirdog apologizes for the inconvenience.}}
