By editing the wiki, you consent to having your written work distributed under this license. Anyone is free to use the text content of Jiggywikki in websites, articles, or other publications provided that they adhere to the following guidelines:
:<b>Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, with no Front-Cover Texts, and with no Back-Cover Texts.</b>

:<b>Content on Wikia is covered by disclaimers and the Wikia terms of use (see below).</b>


*You must acknowledge the authorship of the original article, and
==GNU Free Documentation License==
*For any reuse or distribution, you must make clear to others the license terms of this work.


If you are simply duplicating a Jiggywikki article, the obligations can be fulfilled by providing a conspicuous direct link back to Jiggywikki article hosted on this website. If you create a derivative version by changing or adding content, you need to both acknowledge authorship and provide access to the original copy of the text.
The '''GNU Free Documentation License''' ('''GFDL''') is a copyleft license for free content, designed by the Free Software Foundation (FSF).


'''Important:''' The content of this website does '''not''' apply to the original works and trademarked names! The ''Banjo-Kazooie'' titles and associated names are the sole property of Microsoft. The [[Jiggywikki:Administrators|administrators]] of Jiggywikki believe that the operation of this website falls under the definition of "fair use" under United States copyright laws.
The GFDL is a "copyleft" license, meaning the content can be copied, modified, and redistributed so long as the new version grants the same freedoms to others and acknowledges the authors of the Wikia page. Wikia content will, therefore, will remain free forever and can be used by anybody subject to certain restrictions, most of which serve to ensure that freedom.


== Images and other media ==
Wikipedia, one of the web's most popular reference works, uses the GFDL. Using the same license as that site makes it easy for Wikia users to reuse the content from Wikipedia. You must adhere to the GFDL when using Wikipedia content.  
Images that are displayed on Jiggywikki remain the property of their original creators, and are only included on this website for purposes of illustration under [[wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] guidelines. Unless the original author of the image expressly grants permission, images '''do not''' fall under the scope of the [[wikipedia:Creative Commons license|Creative Commons license]]. In all cases, the images must be uploaded to our database, accompanied by a specific note with:
*Credit for the original author of the image or other media file (if the file is a fan-created work) including a link where the original author may be contacted, '''or'''
*The original source of the image or other media file (if the file is derived from an official ''Banjo-Kazooie'' work, e.g. screenshots and audio clips).  


You must also include information about:
==Image guidelines==
*Whether the file is uploaded to Jiggywikki with express permission of the author, or under fair use rules, and
*The source of the file, being a specific video game, episode, book, other official work, a website, or any other medium. 


== Copyrighted works ==
GFDL or public domain images are strongly preferred on Wikia. Copyright-violating images are subject to deletion. Copyright information must be added to the image description page of every uploaded image. Images and other uploaded files may be available under an alternative free license, or used under fair use guidelines.
If you use part of a copyrighted work under fair use, or if you obtain special permission to use a copyrighted work from the copyright holder under the terms of our license, you must make a note of that fact (along with names and dates). It is our goal to be able to freely redistribute as much of Jiggywikki's material as possible (within the limits of copyright law), so original images and sound files licensed under the Creative Commons license or in the public domain are greatly preferred to copyrighted media files used under fair use. Never use materials that infringe the copyrights of others. This could create legal liabilities and seriously hurt the project. If in doubt, write it yourself.

It is not the job of rank-and-file members of Jiggywikki to police every article for possible copyright infringement, but if you suspect an issue, please bring it up on the article's talk page. Others can then examine the situation and take action if needed. The most helpful piece of information you can provide is a URL or other reference to what you believe may be the source of the infringing text.


Jiggywikki requests that in the case that the owner or owners of a copyrighted work feel that their work is being illegally infringed upon, they provide a list of all items which they believe are infringing, along with the reasoning behind the belief that those items are infringing, to the site host [https://grifkuba.net/ Grifkuba] or an [[Special:ListUsers/sysop|administrator]]. In addition, please provide the name of a person, along with their email address or mailing address, for follow-up correspondence.
