If you don't require sharing under the same license but still want users to cite the source, you can use the CC BY license, which allows commercial or non-commercial use of the text, as long as it is credited with a link to the source. If you don't want to allow commercial use, but show any non-commercial use with a link for credit, you can use CC BY NC. If you want to allow any use without attribution (public domain), you can use CC0. Wikipedia and some other websites don't allow copying the content of this website, as the text of the license is ambiguous and also allows the revocation of the license at the discretion of the site owner. If a more standard license was used, the content (especially the less political content) on this website could be reused in more places.

Hi Conservapedia, so I made a [https://www.gamerpedia.me/Gamerpedia:Copyrights Copyrights policy] page on Gamerpedia that aims to share a similar sentiment of free reuse and has reused content from here before. I'll embed the full text below:
<pre>
The content on Gamerpedia has no license, so you are welcome to reuse it without the obligation of giving credit to us. We'd definitely appreciate acknowledgement, but that is ultimately your decision to make.
Some of the material here is reused from Conservapedia, not for politics, but because they have a very similar sentiment of allowing free reuse of their material, as outlined in their [[Conservapedia:Copyright|copyright page]]. Keep in mind that when you contribute to this wiki, you are bound by the same terms as Conservapedia's, meaning you '''irrevocably agree to allow the reuse of your text here either with or without attribution'''.
Although the text on this website is truly free, please note that since we don't require attribution, it unfortunately means that both the text here and from similar free resources (excluding [[wikipedia:Public domain|public domain]]) are not legally compatible with licenses by the [[wikipedia:Free Software Foundation|Free Software Foundation]] (e.g. [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-1.3.en.html GNU Free Documentation License]) and [[wikipedia:Creative Commons|Creative Commons]] (e.g. [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.en Creative Commons Share-Alike]); as such, Wikipedia and a majority of other wikis cannot reuse the text because the wikis utilize either of the example licenses or sometimes both.
As mentioned above, only material in the public domain can be reused under any circumstance, including within works used by the aforementioned licenses. Our content aims to provide the same benefits and freedoms as the public domain, but since we explicitly do not require attribution, this consequently leaves our text incompatible with various licenses, such as from the Free Software Foundation and Creative Commons, and therefore not part of the public domain.
The only copyrighted materials on this website are the images reused under [[wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] guidelines, specifically to illustrate subjects for documentation purposes.</pre>
Is all of the above text compatible with the copyright policy of this wiki and therefore permissible for me to reuse content from here? The main thing I want to address is how I don't think the content can integrate with licenses from the Free Software Foundation and Creative Commons because theirs require attribution, while both this site and Gamerpedia are the opposite. To my knowledge, the only way to allow universal reuse under and all circumstances, including the aforementioned licenses, is the public domain.
