Talk:Codex

Verbatim quotes, again
Something has to be done about the issue of the codex content. Wiki policy is to avoid quoting large parts of in-game text verbatim as it can be seen as a copyright violation. On the other hand, it is the kind of content that people may expect to see in a wiki -- the one on the digital sharecropping platform that starts with "f" and rhymes with "random" certainly isn't bothered by copyright concerns and gleefully includes all that text verbatim. I guess this makes certain contributors overlook the boilerplate text at the bottom of the editor window... To me the main issue is that raw text, contrarily to images, cannot be given a different license type from the default CC-BY-SA 4.0. Maybe if a presentation could be designed to make that copyright exception clear, the problem would be alleviated and that content could be included? --Gez (talk) 02:54, 2 November 2020 (CST)
