No worries. I was curious because I had an idea to re-use some text and 
images on a personal blog.

I think it is common for MediaWiki platforms to be setup so that 
user-provided content is under the Creative Commons 
Attribution-ShareAlike Licence unless otherwise stated. For example an 
image might be uploaded with CC0 or some other license while the text is 
CC-BY-SA or GPL. For example, the XFS wiki ( https://xfs.wiki.kernel.org 
) is using this approach.

Perhaps it is worth considering adding this to the Btrfs wiki?

Thanks for the links.  I note that in general, it seems that GDPR 
implementations, and especially GDPR info for FOSS is lacking in a many 
communities and projects. kernel.org does not have a GDPR notice, for 
example.
