Licenses and reuse
Attribution
WikSynth records text sources and image credits separately so readers can see what verifies the facts and what license supports any reused visual.
Text sources
Wikipedia and Wikidata are used to verify factual inputs such as story order, publication details, runtime, authorship, directors, source works, and adaptation relationships. The published guide prose is original WikSynth writing, not copied source text. Source links are kept visible because readers should be able to check the factual base behind a summary, ending explanation, or adaptation comparison.
Image sources
Wikimedia Commons images are used only when the specific file page shows a reusable public-domain or Creative Commons license. Each accepted image needs a source URL, license name, license URL when available, credit, alt text, and verification date. A famous poster, cover, still, or logo is not treated as safe just because it appears online; it needs a reusable file record for this site to use it.
Visible credit
Work pages show image credit, license, and source links beside any reused image so readers can audit the file. Pages without verified reusable visuals use original title cards or layout treatments created for WikSynth.
Facts and signals
Runtime, release, director, author, country, language, and based-on details are factual metadata. WikSynth guide labels are separate original editorial labels that describe how the page helps the reader; they are not borrowed verdicts. The site does not import IMDb scores, critic scores, audience scores, or star reviews as a substitute for original guide value.
Attribution problems
If an image credit, license, source link, or factual attribution appears incomplete, send the page URL and the issue so it can be reviewed against the exact source record.
