~~The~~ NixOS ~~Users~~ Wiki ~~contributions~~ are ~~made~~ under the ~~MIT License~~ as ~~stated~~ in the ~~Github repository~~.~~<ref>https~~:~~//github.com/nixos-users/wiki/blob/master/LICENSE</ref>~~

Contributions to the official NixOS Wiki fall into four broad categories: editing and creating articles, contributing to discussions in a page's discussion page, uploading images that are used in articles, and contributing to the wiki's source code on GitHub.

== Creating and editing articles ==

When contributing to the NixOS Wiki in the form of editing pages on the website, either articles or discussion pages, contributors must agree to release their changes under the same license as the wiki's infrastructure repository license, in particular the MIT License. The text of the license is reproduced below:

== Contributing to the infrastructure ==

~~<references~~ />

All contributions to the offical NixOS Wiki infrastructure are exclusively handled through the [https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-wiki-infra GitHub repository]. Thus, any contributions must follow the guidelines set therein.

== Contributing images ==

In general, contributions in the form of file uploads must follow the same copyright policy that governs textual contributions. The only notable exception to this are contributions that fall under the principle of fair use, which must be marked appropriately, and point to the copyright holder's copy of the material.

In general, uploading images to the wiki should be avoided if there is an existing [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikimedia Commons] image that can be used instead. See [[Help:Images]] for more details.
