The text of Celeste Wiki is copyrighted (automatically, under the Berne Convention) by Celeste Wiki editors and contributors and is formally licensed to the public under one or several noncommercial but liberal licenses. Most of Celeste Wiki's text and some of its images are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-SA) or any later version. Some text has been imported only under CC BY-SA, older versions of CC BY-NC-SA and compatible licenses; such text will be identified on the page footer, in the page history, or on the discussion page of the article that utilizes the text. Every image has a description page that indicates the license under which it is released, unless it is a Celeste game asset or screenshot, in which case it is tagged as such.

The license Celeste Wiki uses grants access to our content and three of the four freedoms outlined by the GNU. Celeste Wiki content can be copied, modified, and redistributed if and only if the copied version is made available on the same terms to others and acknowledgment of the authors of the Celeste Wiki article used is included (a link back to the article is generally thought to satisfy the attribution requirement; see below for more details). Copied Celeste Wiki content will therefore remain free under an appropriate license and can continue to be used by anyone subject to certain restrictions, most of which aim to ensure that freedom, in a non-commercial context. This principle is known as copyleft in contrast to typical copyright licenses.

To this end,

Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify Wikipedia's text under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International license or any later version of the same license.

The English text of the CC BY-NC-SA is the only legally binding restriction between authors and users of Celeste Wiki content. What follows is our interpretation of CC BY-NC-SA, as it pertains to the rights and obligations of users and contributors.
