== Licensing of Wiki content ==
The Wikipedia project underwent a licensing update in 2008/2009 from GFDL to dual-licensing scheme including the non-compatible CC-BY-SA. In 2016, I'm noticing that there are some quirks in the software that I'm still investigating, so I've got notes here. Basically, I want to simply figure out whether there are any issues to implementors / site Administrators. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Licensing_updateWhen setting up a fresh install of MediaWiki, or upgrading a previous installation, is there anything to do with regard to the licensing templates or interface messages?
