What the license does not include
It does not relicense external source texts, images, trademarks, full article bodies, or the animated media. Linked references retain their own terms. The full-article API is for bounded reference use and citation, not an implied blanket republication license.
Interpret the fields carefully
Mature entries are labeled. Regional tags identify context, not exclusive ownership or proven origin. Source availability does not establish popularity; no live trend score or search volume is invented. Definitions are fallible and should be considered alongside their cited evidence.
