Forums: Index Help desk Question about image copyright on screenshots

Hi, I was wondering what the policy for using screenshots of Super Smash Bros games from this wiki on other websites is? The images in question are screenshots of trophies from the different games they appear in, and on their image pages they mention that the usage of the screenshots here on the wiki fall under fair use. I'm not super familiar with copyright law, so I'm not sure whether this means it'd be appropriate to reuse these screenshots on other websites or not, and I just wanted to check to make sure before I do anything. Would it be appropriate to use these images elsewhere, given appropriate credit to the wiki and a link back to their image page?
