Wiki Content, Attribution & License

WikiSync.net collects, formats, stores, and provides game-related data that may include content derived from the Old School RuneScape Wiki.

Some source content from the Old School RuneScape Wiki is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0).

WikiSync provides attribution where practical by:

• Linking to the original Old School RuneScape Wiki page where available.
• Identifying the applicable license (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0).
• Indicating that changes may have been made.
• Maintaining this attribution page at a stable, publicly accessible URL.

Attribution is not only stated on this page — it is embedded in the API response itself for every endpoint that serves wiki-derived content. This means the credit travels with the data at the protocol level, not just as a human-readable footnote.

Anyone inspecting a WikiSync response can verify the attribution chain without consulting a separate legal page. The following fields are present in every wiki-derived content response:

• author— Original content creators: "Old School RuneScape Wiki contributors".
• wikiUrl— Direct URL to the original OSRS Wiki page this data was derived from.
• license— Human-readable license identifier: "CC BY-NC-SA 3.0".
• licenseUrl— Direct link to the full Creative Commons license text.
• changesApplied— Boolean flag indicating the content was transformed from its original form.
• source— Identifies WikiSync.net as the delivery layer.

Example response from the item-sources endpoint:

{
  "ok": true,
  "itemName": "Rune scimitar",
  "sources": [ ... ],
  "sourceCount": 4,
  "source": "wikisync.net",
  "author": "Old School RuneScape Wiki contributors",
  "wikiUrl": "https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Rune_scimitar",
  "license": "CC BY-NC-SA 3.0",
  "licenseUrl": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/",
  "changesApplied": true,
  "fetchedAt": "2026-06-02T12:00:00.000Z"
}

Downstream applications such as RunePal read these fields and surface them to end users visually — for example, as a footer line on every item page linking back to the original wiki page, WikiSync, and the license. The attribution is therefore present at three levels: the API response, the application UI, and this legal page.

WikiSync may transform, normalize, cache, summarize, restructure, or reformat wiki-derived content for API delivery, search, performance, and compatibility with downstream applications such as RunePal. Changes may have been made from the original source.

Unless otherwise stated, wiki-derived content made available through WikiSync remains subject to the applicable upstream license. Downstream users should preserve attribution and comply with the relevant license terms when redistributing wiki-derived content.

WikiSync is not affiliated with or endorsed by Jagex Ltd. or the Old School RuneScape Wiki unless explicitly stated. Old School RuneScape and related assets are trademarks or property of Jagex Ltd.
