* The main form of ''content'' includes [[custom track]]s, fonts, characters, [[texture hack]]s, objects, programs, and all similar things.

* The main form of ''content'' includes [[custom track]]s, [[font]]s, [[character]]s, [[texture hack]]s, [[List of Custom Objects|object]]s, programs, and other similar things.

* Posting content to the Wiiki grants every current and future Wiiki user the right to use this content for [[Distribution]]s, to modify this content and to release updated versions of the contents while giving credit to the content creator, even when later removing said content from the Wiki.

* If you are editing another author's work, first contact the author of the original content. If they officially allow you to edit their work, do so and release it as an update. If the author claims they will do an update, give them a reasonable amount of time to do so. If the author disagrees with your edit, although this is not encouraged, you can still edit the content and post it as an update, but you '''must''' leave a download link to the last ''official'' version of the original creator on the page, too.

* If you want to publish an update or edit to an author’s work, you must ask for permission, unless specifically stated by said author that it is not required.

* Custom content, once added to the Wiiki, can be included in any [[Distribution]], even if removed from the Wiiki in the future, and the content itself may get mirrored by Wiiki users even if the original download link is deleted.

** If the author’s account has no contributions after one year, and their user page has no requirements for updating tracks, then updates are allowed without permission. If they state that they do require permission, then an attempt to receive permission – either through a talk page or by other means – is still required.

* If content not available on the Wiiki will be included in a distribution available on the Wiiki, either the track author or the distribution author '''must''' publish that content on the Wiiki, too.

* Custom content, if published with permission, cannot be removed once added to the Wiiki. It may get mirrored by other Wiiki users even if the original download link is deleted.

* If that content has been modified to only work with a specially modified version of Mario Kart Wii (because it relies on a weird behaviour of that distribution, is encrypted or otherwise obfuscated), the distribution creator '''must''' include the necessary patches for all three main regions (PAL, USA, JAP) to make that content work in vanilla Mario Kart Wii.

* If content not available on the Wiiki will be included in a distribution on this website, it '''must''' be published if permission was given to use it. Otherwise, the distribution has to remove or replace unwanted content.

* If the distribution creator does not agree to publish these patches, the track author '''must''' provide a second version of said content which does not require these patches, while not changing anything unrelated to the removal of the requirement of said patches. This explicitly includes tracks in distributions where content is normally stored encrypted — the content author is responsible of releasing an unencrypted version which is otherwise identical to the encrypted version.

* If content has been modified to only work with a specially modified version of [[Mario Kart Wii]] (because it relies on a weird behavior of that distribution, is encrypted or otherwise obfuscated), the distribution author(s) '''must''' include the necessary patches for all three main regions ([[PAL]], [[NTSC-U]] and [[NTSC-J]]) to make that content work in vanilla Mario Kart Wii.
