Thanks for that clarification. If you think that my existing walkthroughs are suitable, and not too long for this site, then I will continue adding occasional map pages myself (it's a good opportunity for me to check over my existing walkthroughs and make updates, too). Otherwise, I'll stick to capsule descriptions and leave the walkthroughs to somebody else. --Hellscrag 16:53, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

Feel free to continue. Also, please look at the discussion on the Rrajigar Mines page. --Sir Brizz 17:22, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

Here is the final word on this.

Everything you contribute to the wiki is copyrighted by yourself. The wiki ensures that by keeping a history of contributions.

Everything that is submitted to the wiki must be licensed by-sa (the details of which can be viewed here).

The essential points are that:

1) Your submission can be edited by anyone on the wiki.

2) Content from the wiki can be copied elsewhere, but attribution must be given to the authors. This is true within the wiki as well, but the page history serves the purpose of the attribution.

3) As you retain copyright of your work, you are free to use it in whatever way you want, even off of the wiki. You aren't required to license it under by-sa when using it elsewhere.

???. So this means that if I submit my Extreme End description and stuff (like Vortex and Nyleve), I cannot post them anywhere? --UBerserker

I have prepared a page and screenshot for Rrajigar Mine, which is ready for submission. However, it uses a slightly modified version of my existing walkthrough (with the translator messages separated as required), and I'm not willing to surrender the copyright. In particular, the "small print" on this site suggests that any content posted within the BeyondUnreal namespace will become the property of BeyondUnreal and that use on other sites will not be permitted without the written consent of BU, when in fact the same text has been in position on UnrealSP.Org for over six years, on OldUnreal.com for a similar length of time, and on my old web site before that. Suggestions...? --Hellscrag

The BeyondUnreal namespace (pages starting with BeyondUnreal:, not currently as use) is for official content, and only BU staff members can post content there. With all other content copyright is maintained by the original author, but it must be licensed under by-sa. This allows anyone to edit and redistribute the content as they see fit, as long as credit is properly given. There are exceptions to this allowed, but mainly that is restricted to images and other media. --Haarg 13:35, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

There hasn't been any information saying that Dragons would have been turned into Krall. Maybe the Warlord, but for now it's still unknown-- UBerserker.

There are a couple of previews of Unreal that mention that the dragon creature in many pre-release screenshots eventually became the Krall. I'll try to find a direct reference. --Sir Brizz 01:08, 22 July 2007 (EDT)

I was slightly mistaken and have updated the Additional Information section to reflect that. The relevant link is here, just search the page for Minotaur. --Sir Brizz 12:29, 22 July 2007 (EDT)

Thanks. Now I know what exactly are those minotaur faces in the cryptic themed maps (Soledad, Morose, Nexus and DOM-Cryptic). --UBerserker (EDT)
