I'm late to all of this, but can someone explain to me exactly what all of this is concerning? I'd be happy to. :)

Yong feng has stated explicitly that he based Template:Stub on a template which I created.

This makes Template:Stub a derivative, which requires attributing the original source - according the CC-BY-SA license which all of Wikia is licensed under, as stated at the bottom of every page.

I added the attribution to the template, and left Yong feng a message asking him to add attribution to anything else he copied, but Sandgar decided to butt in and argue, and ultimately remove the attribution, in violation of the license.

I am going to argue. Thanks for admitting that. While I like to think code itself is open and accesible to all, if indeed you're the original creator of a template or line of code that you made first, it seems only fair and logical to accredit the person who made it first. Honestly, even if there was no rule stating someone had to do it, it seems just like the common nice gesture to give credit to the original creator. Anyways, I'm sorry there was this entire fight here and I wasn't here to help resolve any issues. Hopefully this does not persist or reoccur again in the near future.
