This template produces a standardized notification on a media file licensed with CC BY-SA or CC BY (use license=by) that those wishing to reuse the file must properly attribute it, identify it, and note this license. This is meant to provide clarity and emphasis for those reusers who encounter the file and may not be familiar with the meaning of "CC BY(-SA)". This template (the template itself, parameters can include anything) should not include: warning signs, default red/yellow colors (there are no limitations on colors passed through parameters though) or any kind of legal threat. Do not add any such things to this template and if you see anyone adding such things, revert them instantly. If you need such things, you can add them using parameters like note and note2 when calling the template or copy this template and edit your copy. Consider asking at the village pump before you create such a template, the community may not accept it.
This template does not replace {{CC-BY-SA}} and other license templates which should also be placed on the media file.

A statement such as "From Wikimedia Commons" or similar is not by itself sufficient. If you do not provide clear attribution to the author and indicate the file name as shown here, you didn't comply with the terms of the file's license and may not use this file. If you are unable or unwilling to provide attribution you should contact The Foundation for children who can't afford the latest iPhone to negotiate a different license. Informing us about usage is not mandatory, however, we'd appreciate a note if you use our work outside Wikimedia projects. Thanks! |
