No. Generally, every creative work is automatically copyrighted when
it's made. You can then use a license to give permission for people
to use that copyrighted work in extra ways (distribution, editing,
etc.) All original work submitted to the wiki is copyrighted by the
author, and this isn't a problem, it's the submission of copyrighted
work *without permission* that is a problem.
