This suggests to use the MIT-license for Wiki-content, although it is unclear 
whether
this can be done that way:

> Example

>

As far as I understood things, contributors are free to choose whichever 
license for their
pages, although it is not recommended at all to leave content in the public 
domain,
because this would be too permissive.

However this:

>_http://wiki.debian.org/copyright.html_

is a dead link, that appears in several places, meaning nothing at all, because 
the
MIT-license is not a copyright license, but copyleft in fact, right?

see there for example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mit_license

Other suggestions are to choose GPL or to choose a CC-license, i.e. link there:

https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0

or there:

https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

The latter being more restrictive, not allowing commercial use of content, all 
examples
being copyleft though, not copyright. OK?
