Template:License

Template documentation[view][edit][history][purge]

This documentation is transcluded from Template:License/doc. Changes can be proposed in the talk page.

This template should be used on any files that don't have a license, and you don't know what license it is supposed to be.

Usage

On images

This template can be automatically added to a file on upload by selecting This file is unlicensed or I'm not sure of this file's license from the licensing drop-down menu.

Alternatively, this template can be manually added to a file by pasting this code under the file's summary (if it has one) and above any categories.

Files using this template will be automatically added to Category:Unlicensed files.
