Hi, this is to inform you about the recent changes to the copyright license for Wikinews and related updates.

There is a proposal on Meta regarding the update of the default license for Wikinews. The suggestion, detailed at m:Requests_for_comment/Update_standard_license_for_Wikinews by User:MGA73, proposes changing the default license to CC-BY-4.0 for all Wikinews projects. This change would standardize the license across Wikinews, unless a project actively selects a different one. This change will not affect your Wikinews project at Wikimedia Incubator, but if you plan to translate a Wikinews article from another language, it is helpful to understand their licensing.

Update on Wikinews License Changes:

  • ar.wikinews chose CC-BY-SA-4.0 and changed the license in August 2024 (Phab:T372730).

  • zh.wikinews chose CC-BY-4.0.

A little information about the licenses:

[edit source]
  • Version 4.0 is more international, more compatible with other licenses, and easier to understand compared to version 2.5.
  • It is possible to copy text licensed under CC-BY-2.5 to CC-BY-4.0, but not the other way around.
  • It is possible to copy text licensed under CC-BY to CC-BY-SA, but not the other way around.
  • After the upgrade, it will no longer be possible to translate articles from English Wikinews unless the articles are licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
