Reuse of text
Previously published text may be integrated with the Doom Wiki only if written permission from the original author(s) is obtained (e-mail is acceptable) and posted to that article's talk page. Edits which look like plagiarism will be reverted.

In-game text restrictions
The Doom Wiki does not have permission from Bethesda to use verbatim in-game text, including any codex entries, cutscene/video transcriptions, or dialogue sequences. Brief quotations in an appropriate context are justifiable under fair use. Edits which add extensive verbatim in-game text material will be reverted or deleted immediately.

Use of CC BY-SA 3.0 material
Please note that to be used on this wiki, content from other wikis that is under the CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported license must be upgraded to the CC BY-SA 4.0 International license, a conversion which is allowed under the terms of CC BY-SA 3.0. However, it is not allowed to take content from this site and use it on a wiki under the CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported license without the express permission of that content's author(s). If you are the only author of the material, you may use it however you wish.

Images
Image copyrights are more complex (as is well known on Wikipedia), and Doom Wiki does not pretend to be an authority on copyright law. Our current policy is that: Other types of images are discussed on a case-by-case basis (see our image uploading policy).
 * Screen shots of commercially released games can be used under "fair use".
 * Screen shots of PWADs can be used under "fair use" as long as the maps themselves contain no material of dubious copyright status.
 * Map views extracted from WADs can be used under "fair use", provided they contain no raw graphics lumps.
 * LMPs and PWADs, when uploaded by their creator, can be licensed under the CC BY-SA provided that no incompatible license or contract is already in place.
