Hi. I'm Brandon from Wikia's community team. We received a message recently regarding the dispute between HTF Wiki and Saints Row Wiki that arose over Template:Stub. I have made some revisions to the stub template to remove the text that was a derivative of the template over on Saints Row Wiki. The stance that HTF Wiki took that you cannot have a copyright over wikitext or CSS is incorrect; Wikia communities are licensed under the CC-BY-SA license, and the 'BY' clause requires you to attribute copied or derivative text that you use from CC-BY-SA sites. Saints Row Wiki was correct in saying that you needed to attribute the text that was used on Template:Stub.

You are welcome to revert my edits and restore the previous text, but only if you add attribution for Saints Row Wiki. You can do that by adding the following to the template page:

The text of this page is based on Template:Join on Saints Row Wiki, and it is used under the Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike license.

That will satisfy the attribution requirements. Please do not restore the previous text without adding attribution, or I will need to remove it again as a Terms of Use violation.

If you have any questions about this, please feel free to let me know.

Thank you!
