So I'm a bit late to all this, but as a French Helper I'd like to clarify some stuff and to peace this situation out, as there is a French wiki involved.

First, I'd like to ask everyone to at least provide an English translation of all messages here; I can understand you want to speak Italian as it's your native language, but not everyone understands Italian, and Google Translate is not the thing to use in a middle of a licencing issue.

I understand you, Alelm, that you don't want to have your content "stolen" after hours of work; as admins, Helpers also spend a lot of time on their communities to create decent content, especially because we don't work with giant communities like EN wikis. But you cannot claim ownership of such content as Leviathan reminded. I'd also add asking all the time for permission is rather unrealistic for any wiki content that could be reused, and it's kind of why there's the CC BY-SA licence.

However, what you can do is to ask Clara0408 to put similar banners you use on the French wiki where you explicitly say where you took this content from. Because, according to the CC BY-SA 3.0 legal code, "adapt", which you are free to do under such licence, also applies for translations. They even take an example of what the notice could look like: For example, a translation could be marked "The original work was translated from English to Spanish".

Therefore, it seems you can ask for proper attribution in similar banners you currently use for the French wiki for translations, which would probably be a better option than taking content from the English wiki. So you can ask for credit and source, and if you notice Clara0408 has forgotten to put any required credits, you may ask to add these or, if she doesn't do it, you may ask for deletion.

I'm not sure if this is a good enough solution for all parties - let me know what you think of it.
