Wikia staff has yet again proven itself as spineless as it is useless and answered: "We cannot provide specific legal guidance ... but I can say that most images are uploaded by individual users under the 'fair use' provision of copyright law. This does not mean you can use any image for any purpose you want, however - but for specifics on that you'll likely need to look elsewhere for info on what qualifies as 'fair use'."

They also noted that if copyright holder does ask the image to be removed they might or might not do so.

As we changed some words after were had all blewn some steam off on Discord, I think we do go and follow the image policy we have as it was intended. However, do make sure that you do look up an original source when uploading files here. Search engines are not sources and knowing that Pinterest is not used to post your own stuff I will look it very suspiciously.

This also means that pictures of real life and real people, edited or not, are free to go, only images meant exclusively for a non-Warhammer 40k purpose are banned (with ponies and pornography). Uploader has the obligation to correctly source and license their images and give credit to author when author is known (ie. basically any work made after WW2). I hope you are happy with these changes in future practices, there is however no need to change our written policies as I see it.

I think that is all. Further comments are welcome.
