==Text==
When dealing with taking text from other sources, a link to the original source it came from must be provided at the relevant article (unless the content is CC0 or in the public domain), as all other compatible licenses demand attribution.   
When dealing with taking text from other sources, a link to the original source it came from must be provided on the relevant articles' talk page unless it is CC0, since all other compatible licenses require attribution.   
 
This is done by adding [[Template:Copyright attribution talk|the relevant template]] (if not already present) to '''the top''' of the article's talk page. This will create a new section labeled "Copyright attribution" and provide an informational textbox. All future attribution of copyright on the article can be done by adding various [[Template:Copyright attribution table|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). [https://sirdog.xyz/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:Hypixel&oldid=2198 An example of this done successfully is found here].
 
See [[Template:Copyright attribution table]]'s documentation for more information.
 
===Taking text from Wikipedia===
When taking content from Wikipedia, per their [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Reusing Wikipedia content|policy on reusing Wikipedia content outside of the site]], providing ''all'' of the following in an edit summary is suitable attribution and the process above may be circumvented.
*An ''explicit declaration'' that content was taken from Wikipedia.
*A link to the BY-SA 3.0 license.
*A link to the page that content was taken from.
*An ''explicit declaration'' of whether or not the taken content was modified in any way.


The following is a boilerplate that can be used (obviously the last sentence should be changed based on the circumstances, but it is ''very rare'' that content taken is not modified ''in some form''):
This is done by using [[Template:Text attribution]]. Instructions for using it are available on it's documentation. The template gives options for attributing public domain and CC0 text, but it is not required by copyright law. If the work in question is not released under a compatible license, and it isn't in the public domain, it '''may not be used at Online Communipedia'''.  
<pre>Content in this edit was taken from Wikipedia. This content is licensed under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/. The content was originally from <FULL URL TO PAGE>. The content taken from Wikipedia has been modified.</pre>

==Images ==
For the sake of minimizing the legal liability of the project, the image ''must'' fall under one of the following [[wikipedia:Creative Commons|Creative Commons]] licenses:
The image ''must'' fall under one of the compatible Creative Commons licenses (see table in aformentioned section) ''or'' it must meet one of the following criteria:
 
<div style="column-count:2">
*CC0

*CC By-2.0
*CC BY-2.5
*CC BY-3.0
*CC BY-SA-1.0
*CC BY-SA-2.0
*CC BY-SA-2.5
*CC BY-SA-3.0
</div>
 
Or it must meet one of the following criteria:


*The image is comprised of simple geometric shapes and words and thus under [[commons:Commons:Threshold_of_originality|United States copyright law]]<ref>The guidance provided by Wikimedia Commons is used when determining this rationale.</ref> is not original enough for copyright protection.<ref>This does not permit inclusion if the work is copyrighted outside of the United States</ref>
