Having skimmed the [http://www.curse.com/content/TermsofService.aspx Curse TOS], it appears that all content on any Curse website (including the wikis) belongs to Curse and may not be reused without permission. I don't have much of a complaint about this in general, but it ''is'' more than sufficient to lead me to the decision not to contribute anything substantial to any templates on Curse wikis. If, in trying to solve a problem, I develop some ingenious template that could be used on all sorts of wikis, I hardly want to be prevented by some asinine TOS which clearly wasn't designed with wikis in mind. |

This TOS, however, is probably also incompatible with GFDL/Creative Commons content licenses, as it suggests that any content copied from other wikis also automatically belongs to Curse, and several templates here have been copied directly from Wikipedia (and possibly also Wikia). This is quite obviously an outrageous (and possibly illegal) conclusion that needs to be addressed by whatever legal counsel Curse retains as soon as humanly possible. |

Hi, I'm Dinoguy1000! I'm quite experienced with wikis - I hail originally from Wikipedia, and used to be quite involved on Fandom, so I know my way around, but that doesn't mean I have a complete grasp on the rules or etiquette for this wiki - if I'm doing something wrong, please don't hesitate to tell me! =)
As far as Minecraft is concerned, I've been playing since before the Halloween Update - since August or September 2010, perhaps. I started out playing in Classic, but purchased an Alpha code on October 14, 2010. I have a sneaking suspicion I actually stumbled across Minecraft, in some way, several months before I actually started playing, but I can't be sure and have no idea how I might have come across it. Oh, and here's my skin, for what it's worth.
Licensing[edit | edit source]
I hereby release my Template namespace contributions, as well as any CSS and Javascript I write, under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License (some such contributions may be copied from elsewhere; any such cases are clearly noted in the edit summary). Reuse of these contributions is freely allowed, provided that attribution is given (this attribution must consist at minimum of a hyperlink or URL pointing to the original page(s) on this wiki) and the reuse is also licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0 or later. I also encourage other editors (both on this and other Curse-operated wikis) to adopt a similar policy in regards to their own Template namespace contributions and user CSS/JS; this can be done simply by copying this notice into their own userspace.
Any files I upload will have licensing specified on their file description pages; most files I own the rights to will be uploaded with a CC license.
