I have found that the CC license abbreviations are incorrect, but I am not authorized to correct these and need help. Arrest5913 (talk) 02:15, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Both forms are attested, surely. 24.137.99.97 02:28, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

The hyphenated form is an outdated notation prior to 2005; since 2006, Creative Commons has consistently used the non-hyphenated form. For a while after that, Wikipedia continued to use the old notation, but it has been mostly corrected in the last decade. Arrest5913 (talk) 16:35, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

In that case, being that the non-hyphenated ones are assumingly more common, I’d more just shift the information at these current entries to the non-hyphenated forms and then leave the hyphenated ones with something like {{obsolete spelling of}}. AG202 (talk) 16:56, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

That's a good idea. Arrest5913 (talk) 07:52, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
