This is done by adding [[Template:Copyright attribution talk]] (if not already present) to '''the top''' of the article's talk page. This will create a new section labeled "Copyright attribution". All future attribution of copyright on the article can be done by adding various [[Template:Copyright attribution table]] templates underneath the newly created section. After the table is complete, an editor must [[wikipedia:Help:Signature|add their signature]] underneath their template invocation (e.g <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> beneath the table).

=== Screenshots ===
It may be beneficial to the project for screenshots of a community's communications platform (e.g [[wikipedia:Discord|Discord]], [[wikipedia:TeamSpeak|TeamSpeak]]) or website to be taken and placed on the relevant article. The owner of the communications platform and/or website tend to hold all rights over their official logos and branding. However, simple text with formatting - such as is found within websites or in communications platforms - ''tends'' to not be protected by copyright.
As such, '''screenshots that comprise of <u>just text</u>''' '''from such sources''' may be uploaded under any compatible license.
