All content on the Unreal Wiki is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0 license. When you add content, you are agreeing to use this license. If you are adding content which you are not the original author of, it must be licensed under compatible terms. Content that falls under wp:fair use laws can also be added. Copyright is still always maintained by the original author.

There are two exceptions to this rule. All content in the Legacy namespace or images in the Legacy images category fall under the old Unreal Wiki's license. New content cannot be added using this license. The other exception is that pages added as subpages of your own user page can use an alternate license. This is discouraged for most cases, but if done, must be clearly marked using the {{altlicense}} template. Any license used must allow unlimited redistribution, but can restrict derivative works.
