Info about suggestion on Meta about change of default license for Wikinews

[edit]

After a long discussion English Wikinews and some other Wikinews have now changed their license.

I have now made a suggestion at m:Requests for comment/Update standard license for Wikinews where I propose changing the default license for Wikinews to ensure all Wikinews have the same license (CC-BY-4.0) unless they actively choose a different license.

It will not affect English Wikipedia because the license is already changed here.

But as info I can tell that someone said on Meta that it was a shame that the discussion were not at Meta before English Wikinews changed the license. Because now the only option is to follow English Wikinews. It was stated that it would have been good if all the Wikinews community could have discussed if BY or BY-SA was best before the license was changed.

I do not plan to restart the discussion now but I said that perhaps when there is a version 5.0 it could be discussed on Meta what to do. --MGA73 (talk) 12:08, 19 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
