This article is a guide to licensing on bg3.wiki. For a more detailed overview on bg3.wiki's copyright policy, see bg3wiki:Copyrights.

When you create a new page, add some new blocks of text to an existing page, or upload a file to bg3.wiki, and the content you submit is your own creation (e.g. text of your own writing, not copied from elsewhere), you license your contribution to bg3.wiki (and the rest of the world) the moment you submit it.

You are still the copyright holder of such work, and can do whatever you want with it outside of bg3.wiki, but the public receives an irrevocable license to use that content under certain terms. Currently, those terms are dictated by the license CC BY-SA 4.0.

On July 20, 2024 there was a change in licensing of submitted content. See bg3wiki:Copyrights for details about this.

Files uploaded to bg3.wiki may fall under different licenses, which must be indicated (via selection from a drop-down menu) when uploading the file and will then be noted on the page of that file. If you don't select which license the file falls under, no license will be indicated on the file's page, which may lead to the file being removed. If the file is an image or video recording from the game, it will be assumed to fall under Larian Studios' Fan Content Policy.

If you submit text that you've copied from elsewhere and it's not licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0, you can use Template:License on the corresponding page to indicate what license it is.
