Beginning June 15th, 2009, the Wikimedia Foundation will be transitioning content on Wikipedia to be dual licensed under both the GFDL and Creative Commons CC-BY-SA 3.0. As a result, this page may give inaccurate or outdated advice, and is in need of updating.
For sites that use CC-BY-SA content, see Wikipedia:CC-BY-SA Compliance.

A number of sites that mirror and fork Wikipedia may not be complying with all the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). This page should be used to track sites that use Wikipedia's GFDL text (but not CC-BY-SA). Wikipedia:CC-BY-SA Compliance should be used instead for newer mirrors (copied starting June 15th, 2009) that use Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike (CC-BY-SA) text.

Please see Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks for instructions about adding new sites.

There is also the category "Former content users" for sites that at one time used Wikipedia content, but no longer do. This should be periodically checked.

Problematic sites sometimes get listed on the mirror list without ending up here. So check the mirror list too: (Numbers) ABC DEF GHI JKL MNO PQR STU VWXYZ All

Descriptions of the categories:
Undetermined or disputed: Low/None: Medium: High:
Either more research is needed, or it is disputed. Fails in a very significant way, usually by lacking mention of Wikipedia, the GFDL, or both. Makes an effort to comply, usually including mention of Wikipedia and the GFDL. May link to offsite GFDL, and/or lack link to original article. Approximates our licence; should link to original article[1]; should link to local GFDL[2]; should list original authors and dates[3].
