Therefore, this Wiki must only use Maxbuff's works such that it does not infringe on their copyright. This can be achieved in two ways:

under the fair use exception;

or with Maxbuff's explicit permission.

This Wiki does not have Maxbuff's explicit permission, hence editors must follow fair use.

Fair Use

See also Fair use should be considered on a case-by-case basis, but some relevant factors in determining fair use include:

The amount and substantiality of the original works that were copied.

Articles containing direct quotes must be clearly marked as quotes, denoted with templates such as Quote or

""

, quotation marks, or otherwise.
Quotations should be used sparingly, with correct sources, only using a small section of the original content.

Whether the use in question acts as a direct market substitute, and whether potential market harm might exist beyond that of direct substitution.

Articles should not take the place of Maxbuff's content; it should only be a guide or explanation. It should not be a narrative story.

Acknowledgement of the source of the copyrighted material.

Maxbuff's copyrighted material should be accurately sourced as such.
