You can use Wikipedia/Wikimedia images based the specific licenses listed for the images you want to use. There is no blanket common licensing scheme.

By use it doesn't mean you can just refer to them in wikicode (like ). It means you can upload the image to your wiki after downloading it from Wikipedia/Wikimedia.

For example, say you want to use an image of the Wiki Wiki Shuttle from the Wikipedia page. Go to the file page on Wikipedia,, and look at the licensing info below the image. As of this post, it should be " Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic". Since most Wikia wikis use CC-by-SA 3.0 and this image uses 2.0, I'm not sure it could be used in all cases, but it is probably pretty safe.

However, some images have custom licenses like and probably should not be used.
