Sorry for being away this morning and to have missed again a big part of the discussion - but I think it's good I clarify some points again.

Alelm, I understand your frustration again. I wouldn't want to lose FR Tekkenpedia as it's a big and strong French Wiki for the French community; I'm sure we can find another solution than moving to another wikifarm.

It's important that you understand that most wikifarms might be under the CC BY-SA licence, or a similar licence such as any CC licence or even some softer licences. Some exceptions I have found not under such licence usually don't tolerate to copy-paste CC BY-SA content, as they consider it as plagiarism, unless you have a source; so you would have to quote your own content. Though "own" is probably not appropriate: if we have created the content on our wikis, none of us own it.

However, if Clara0408 still doesn't use enough credits to give a proper attribution to the content you have created on FR Tekkenpedia, then I would say it falls under the Fandom Copyright policy which can lead to a deletion by Fandom Staff (or Helpers, we can also deal with this) or even a block if this happens too much.

If this Copyright policy was more done for Copyrights as stolen art, I don't see why it wouldn't apply for content under CC BY-SA when there is no proper attribution to your content. So if this happens again, Fandom Staff or Helpers could delete the content, and even block Clara0408 if this keeps happening.

Koji04, I also understand your point, but thing is it's too hard to avoid people taking your content on Fandom. You know, even some popular media can take a part of your content (this happened to me), and this is also kind of "frustrating" for me; but as long as they credit the site they've taken it from, there's no issue with the CC BY-SA licence. The main point here is that everyone follows this licence.

I think your banner is good Clara0408, but yes a link is really required. And if possible, a link to the page history, because otherwise there's no easy way to find who has written the content; a direct link to history gives an exhaustive list. If you need help to make that kind of template, we can provide that.
