i'm going try and explain the attribution policy that wikia has in place. Hopefully we can resolve this issue without bringing wikia staff into this, i don't think either of us wants that to happen so let's try and clear up any misunderstandings. i'm not sure if you are aware of this but if you take content from another wiki or another website with a CC-BY-SA license then credit must be given in the form of a source link back to the original article/source. this applies to both templates and articles.

images are licensed based off the original image license, so if the owner doesn't give permission for reuse then you can't reuse it. that's how images work. this means images from isoaker.com, dartstrike.com, orange's nerf page can't be posted.
