What Languages and Licensing Does the Yume Nikki Wiki Use?
Updated
The Yume Nikki Wiki is available in English, Spanish, and Russian, and its community content is published under CC-BY-SA unless otherwise noted. It is hosted on Fandom and listed within Fandom's Horror community. If you plan to reuse or republish wiki text, the CC-BY-SA terms apply by default, but you should check the individual page for any note that says otherwise.
Languages
The wiki's language options are shown directly on the site:
| Language | Availability |
|---|---|
| English | Main wiki |
| Español | Linked language version |
| Русский | Linked language version |
The English wiki is the primary version described on the home page: it presents itself as "a comprehensive index and guide to everything in Yume Nikki" and reports 211 articles since May 2009. The Spanish and Russian versions appear as linked language editions rather than as separate descriptions on the home page.
If you are looking for a specific article, start with the English wiki, then switch to Español or Русский if the page exists there. Coverage is not guaranteed to be identical across languages.
Licensing
The licensing statement on the wiki is:
Community content is available under CC-BY-SA unless otherwise noted.
What this means in practice:
- CC-BY-SA is a Creative Commons license that allows reuse, including commercial reuse, as long as you give attribution and share derivative works under the same license.
- "Unless otherwise noted" is the important qualifier. A specific page, image, or file may carry a different license or restriction. Check the page itself before reusing it.
- Images and media are not automatically covered by the same terms as wiki text. Fandom wikis often host game screenshots, sprites, and cover art whose rights sit with the original creators or publishers. Treat the CC-BY-SA statement as applying to community-written text unless the page says otherwise.
Hosting and Community Context
The wiki runs on Fandom and is categorized under Fandom's Horror community, alongside wikis for games such as Ib, OMORI, Silent Hill, and Resident Evil. This affects a few practical things:
- Account and editing work through Fandom's platform, so contributions follow Fandom's editing and community rules in addition to the wiki's own.
- Content scope is documented on the home page: expand article stubs, check Wanted Pages for missing articles, and upload images for pages that need them.
- Spoiler culture: the home page explicitly warns that the wiki documents the game in depth and advises new players to play first and read later.
Choosing How to Use the Wiki
- If you want to read about the game: use the English wiki first, and check Español or Русский for alternate coverage.
- If you want to reuse text: CC-BY-SA applies by default — attribute the wiki and keep derivatives under the same license.
- If you want to reuse images: verify the specific file page; the general CC-BY-SA note is not a blanket permission for media.
- If you want to contribute: the home page lists open tasks — stubs, wanted pages, and image uploads — and contributions fall under the same community licensing.
