Hello, Kirkburn from the Community Support team here. I've been asked to try and provide a bit of clarity about the licensing rules, as there may be some confusion:


 * Plagiarism is "the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own". If content is attributed, it is not plagiarism.
 * The CC-BY-SA license (which applies to text on almost all FANDOM wikis) allows for content to be directly copied, as long as attribution is included. See http://www.wikia.com/Licensing for more information. The use of CC-BY-SA is very intentional, as we believe knowledge should be freely shared.
 * That said: you are, of course, allowed to have local rules about what content is allowed that is stricter than CC-BY-SA.
