Bon Matin Sitb,

This Wiki is licensed on CC-BY-SA. I spent the last few months working on an Extraction tool that presents the data of a few pages in Excel making it  easy to Search & Filter and providing extra functionality that helps the game for game buffs ... I will publish it shortly and make it free to distribute & adapt by giving instructions for user to DYI  and modifiy/expand the Excel Workbook ( or port it to Open Office  which I might also do) ...

My question is: Can I have a short blurb at the end saying "If you like this tool and find it useful and wish to pay me a coffee, a beer or a meal you can always send the amount to "PAYPAL" link  I can sure use the help to maintain my computer hardware & software" ... And if you plan to come regularly to get the updates instead of doing it yourself you can also  make the "coffee" monthly with "PATREON"  (or another site of socio-financing)".

I got the idea while listening to a Podcast ... I spent the last few months working with a broken screen and even if it's only 130$CDN, I won't be able to make the repair myself after Christmas ... If  130 players found the tool interesting enough to send 1$CDN, I could have made repair ...

I will publish anyways but I wondered if there was a firm RULE pro or con and if other Wiki Contributors / Editors / Admin ever thouth to ask for contribution to help with the  cost of the gear needed to do proficiently ... (Backup Drives,  Desktop Software, etc ... ) ...

Again it is perfectly permissible under the CC-BY-SA license unless FANDOM put a specific restriction on it ...

Thanks for asking the right person at FANDOM and getting back to me.

-Warmest Regards,
