The Public and Collaborative Nature of this Wiki
Any logged-in user may edit the publicly editable pages of this Wiki. By doing so, editors create a published document and a public record of every word added, subtracted, or changed. This is a public act, and editors are identified as the author of such changes. All contributions made to this Wiki, and all publicly available information about those contributions, and all files linked to by the article, are irrevocably licensed and may be freely copied, quoted, reused and adapted by third parties with few restrictions.
Published Works Policy
- You are only allowed to post freely usable content on this wiki. All posted content must be freely accessible without password or registration on other internet platforms.
- The main form of content includes custom tracks, fonts, characters, texture hacks, objects, programs, and other similar things.
- Posting content to the Wiki grants every current and future Wiki user the right to use this content for distributions.
- For distributions that have Track Wishlists, authors have the right to remove their track from any wishlist. This does not stop the distribution author from including the track.
- All posted content is the property of its respective creators, including, but not limited to, textures, models, layout, and design. Mario Kart is created by Nintendo; the Custom Mario Kart Wiki is in no way affiliated with Nintendo or its associates.
- If you want to modify an author’s work (such as fixing glitches or changing textures), you must ask for permission, unless specifically stated by said author that it is not required.
- If the author’s account has no contributions after one to two years, and their user page has no requirements for updating tracks, then updates are allowed without permission. If they state that they do require permission, then an attempt to receive permission – either through a talk page or by other means (such as Discord) – is still required.
- This also applies to porting an author's work to another game, such as Mario Kart Wii.
- Custom content, if published with permission, cannot be removed once added to the Wiki. It may get mirrored by other Wiki users even if the original download link is deleted.
- If content not available on the Wiki will be included in a distribution on this website, it must be published if permission was given to use it. Otherwise, the distribution has to remove or replace unwanted content.
