Our previous site/wiki was a DokuWiki site with content under CC-BY-SA-3.0. All content on the site that predates the switchover on May 6th last summer is covered by that.
But all content added since then is in a legal grey zone, since we did not add a clear LICENSE at the time.
To clean up the situation, and also modernize the legal code, add LICENSE = CC-BY-SA-4.0 and a clear CONTRIBUTING.md that makes clear contributions will be taken under that license.
CC-BY-SA-3.0 is forward-compatible with CC-BY-SA-4.0, so this change does not need to involve content predating the switchover.
But everyone who has added content (current count: 32) since the switchover will need to give informed consent to this for this to be merged.
