Forum:CT:Addition to the editing policy

I’d like to propose a minor addition to the editing policy. This would fall under the “Fanon stealing” section of the policy. Tonight, Goodwood and I created a new template: Free-use. This template says that any user can use the contents of the tagged article in their own work, though the author is allowed to attach conditions to that free use on the talk page. For example, the author could specify that their article can only be referenced in fan fiction narrative stories, not fanon articles.

Something like this should be mentioned in the editing policy. Therefore, I’m proposing the addition of this paragraph to the end of the “Fanon stealing” section:


 * Articles that are tagged with the Free-use template may be referenced by any user in their articles, as the tag means that the author of the tagged article has given permission to do so. This is not to be mistaken with Free-edit; the Free-use tag does not give permission to add, remove, or change content from an article unless it is also tagged with Free-edit. The author of the article may establish terms and conditions for the use of the reference on their article’s talk page.

Simple, quick, and painless. This CT will last for one week, until June 17, 2010, unless more or less time is required. All relevant matters of the voting policy apply. Please be civil. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 05:27, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
