		+	::The reason is exactly your confusion about the old wiki's copyright. Technically it should have been something like CC-BY, but to change a copyright like the one the old wiki has, all contributors (everyone who ever contributed any edits to it that are still visible) would have to agree to such a change, which simply isn't possible. That's why the entire old wiki's content is now in its own Legacy namespace.
		+	::If you want to add anything, it would be great if you could create an appropriate non-Legacy page (if it doesn't exist yet) and link it accordingly from inside the wiki and also from outside the wiki. In general, just have a look at [[Project:Community portal\|Community portal]]. —[[User:Wormbo\|Wormbo]] 11:17, 13 November 2016 (EST)

	:Is there any definition available here what is classified as "legacy" and what as "non-legacy"? I didn't find such. I guess that everything related to current Unreal engine is "non-legacy", everything to previous versions "legacy". But that would be a bad classification IMO. --[[User:SeriousBarbie\|SeriousBarbie]] ([[User talk:SeriousBarbie\|talk]]) 10:08, 11 November 2016 (EST)		:Is there any definition available here what is classified as "legacy" and what as "non-legacy"?

	::It's right in the page name, the "Legacy" part before the colon. Background is that the old UnrealWiki (before the switch to MediaWiki) had a very wonky copyright statement. —[[User:Wormbo\|Wormbo]] 11:25, 11 November 2016 (EST)		::It's right in the page name, the "Legacy" part before the colon.

		+	:::Oh, I thought it was an indicator for "out of date". I must say that I'm really confused about the structure and different copyrights here (it has taken more that two years or me to accidentally find [[Unreal Wiki:Copyrights]]...) Isn't it possible to get rid of these different copyrights? A note to the copyright holder: on [[Legacy:Project_Copyright]] I found the statement ''The collection and structure of UnrealWiki are copyright UnrealWiki''. But I did not find any information what ''UnrealWiki'' is - a foundation, person or company?
