Forum:Images Copyright Clarification

Hi again, same as before I'm still relatively new to editing on Fandom, but in addition... I'm also now relatively new on being an admin/bureaucrat on a wiki!

The Wiki in Question: Skul:The Hero Slayer (Game)

My question: In terms of images and copyright, how should I ensure we're complying with anything? I don't understand the nuances of copyrights in general despite reading the Help:Copyright page. I want to be certain we're not doing anything wrong and that things are okay how they are, or that I need to make changes.

Currently I've been uploading a lot of images that have been snippets of the screen while I'm playing the game. Be it by taking a screenshot and cropping out what I want, or just using the snipping tool on Windows 10 to snag what I want and save it (essentially same result, fewer steps).

Should I have these images noted with copyright of some sort or... how should I adjust future or current images (though there are a lot D: ) to make sure I'm complying in the copyright respect?

Thanks in advance!

 * FANDOM uses Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0, the license allows people to:
 * Share texts and/or images (with the same license) to be freely distributed.
 * But it requires users to:
 * Attribute the original author(s).
 * Use the same license in their derivatives.
 * For text or files that are copyrighted, FANDOM uses Fair Use, which is like a low quality, examplic excuse for copyrights, and you may not abuse the Fair Use license.

 * I might be being incredibly dense, but I can't seem to get my head to grasp what in the world all that means. Is there a layman's translation I could get? Sorry lol, I think very in terms of "do this". Checking some other gaming wikis, I haven't seen anything special on their images in what I would guess is the same situation so I'm going with a "we're doing alright" status lol

 * The Creative Commons license FANDOM use permits people to read, share, and change texts and images, but they need to accredit the author(s) of the works, and they need to use the same Creative Common license in their edits to the original work ~ This is the signature of Headquarter 8302 05:44, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
