Forums: Index > Wiki DiscussionWould you like to have the Strategy Guide content posted on the Wiki for general use???

I will be getting the Strategy Guide with my copy of the game and was wondering if others would like the stuff in it posted on here somewhere to help out until the Wiki is filled up with all the information we can find after the game releases?? Let me know? QueenKirriana (talk) 10:28, November 15, 2014 (UTC)

I'd be wary myself. Scanning in images of or copying the guide would be seen as a breach of copyright, and if uploaded in its entirety, it'd be hard pressed to be considered Fair Use, and probably then removed from the wiki. Though I am in no way a legal expert or fluent in Wikia's terms of use, but that's the way I'd interpret it. You could just take the bare facts and write them up in your own words, but then that's the same as filling the wiki without the guide and would take ages --Bel3338 (talk) 13:23, November 15, 2014 (UTC)

Afternoon (nb. my 1st edit), Bel3338 is in all probability correct; you cannot simply copy and paste material beyond a 'fair use' threshold, at least in as far as English & EU law is concerned. Again echoing Bel3338, you could just give the 'bare facts' and paraphrase. Moral of the story: don't infringe upon copyrights :) --Chihang1990 (talk) 14:08, November 15, 2014 (UTC)

IMO the sold/printed/non-gamer made "guides" are useless, only thing I care for is player made guides, that let me check consequences of choices I didn't make. 62.21.31.219 (talk) 17:33, November 15, 2014 (UTC)

Fair enough. It was preordered for me I was told afterwards so yeah I didn't pick to get it specifically. I was also thinking about that last night as I am aware of strict copyright rules when it comes to images as well and thought about paraphrasing it anyway. Yeah I will take your suggestion and give paraphrased bare facts. Like a "Inquisition Hotline". Like if you were looking for a good cross-class combo to think about using when putting specs on the characters or whatever. I don't know what's going to be in the book so I'll see on the 21st when it releases in my country. QueenKirriana (talk) 22:03, November 15, 2014 (UTC)

I can't afford to pre order the guide but I would like the help from it so I think maybe rewriting it's content in a way that doesn't break any laws and posting it up is a good idea :)Blitzbear93 (talk) 23:01, November 15, 2014 (UTC) Blitzbear93
