Unless other arrangements are made, the creator of the work is automatically its copyright holder. Ownership can be transferred by contract, or can be inherited. However, transfer of a copyright is far less common than licensing of the copyright.

By definition, the author of a creative work owns the copyright of that work until it has been legally transferred to others. As a general rule, wiki only acquires a license of the rights, not the ownership. The original author would retain the right to (a) withdraw any license as permitted and (b) enforce any rights not licensed or effectively transferred.

How is copyright ownership determined?
The original author of a creative work is automatically the owner of the copyright. If there are multiple authors of a jointly created work, they are automatically joint owners. Ownership can be transferred to others. In the USA it can only be done in a signed writing that is recorded in the US Copyright Office. The ownership of "works made for hire" varies slightly according to national laws. In the USA, for example, an employer is considered the "author" of works done by its employees and thus owns the copyrights. For independent contracts, however, the contractor is the legal author and owns the copyright unless there is a signed document in the proper form to the contrary result, granting "authorship" to the client. 17 USC § 101 Works made for hire - definitions.
