Wikia wrote back and said "Thanks for contacting Wikia. You are free to upload CC-BY-NC images. Whether or not you should license your own images under the CC-BY-NC license is up to you. As we're not in the position to give you legal advice, I can't say whether you should or not. However, if you're concerned that it's against the spirit of editing on Wikia, then don't worry about that - you're good!"

I think im beginning to get it. I was just looking at the Mordor game site http://shadowofmordor.wikia.com/wiki/File:Character-Talion.png which has presumably commercial images that need copyright protection form commercial use, and i notiuced they just put a header "Licensing" with the text "This file is copyrighted. The copyright holder has given permission for its use."

As a Wikia novice when i first started looking around and posting items the issue of licensing seemed to pop up and maybe it just seems more important than it is. I think i can literally just add the discalimer to every page that the iamge is copyrighted and Wikia has permission to use it or just add that it's copyrighted by the CC non commercial license.

I thought there was some huge mechanism in place but i THINK its just us putting a notice where it's required instead.

I asked them 452s question as well "What is the best license I can use for my art to license it for use on Wikia but nowhere else." and ill keep you posted.

I've almost got it:)
