== Summary ==
Fandom (formerly Wikia and Wikicities) wikis are considered generally unreliable because [[WP:UGC|open wiki]]s are [[WP:SPS|self-published sources]]. Although citing Fandom as a source is against policy, copying Fandom content into Wikipedia is permissible if it is published under a compatible license (some wikis may use licenses like CC BY-NC and CC BY-NC-ND, which are incompatible). Use the {{tl|Fandom content}} template to provide the necessary attribution in these cases, and ensure the article meets Wikipedia's [[WP:PG|policies and guidelines]] after copying.
