Out of courtesy to the hard work by other editors like us, this wiki is strongly against the mass copying and pasting of content from other wikis. Copying and pasting is okay if it is permitted by the source. We expect any significant copying from other wikis or sources to be attributed. This is required because most wikis require this as part of their license. However, the Square Enix Wiki does not accept mass copying of content, images, etc. from other wikis, regardless of attribution. Mass copying means copying multiple pages word for word with little or no intention to change the transferred content. You can copy entire pages so long as you make an effort to alter the content so that it is in your words. | Out of courtesy to the hard work by other editors like us, this wiki is strongly against the mass copying and pasting of content from other wikis.
