Template:Attribution is permanently
protected from editing because it is a
heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by
consensus, editors may use {{
edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's
documentation to add usage notes or
categories.
Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. Functionality of the template can be checked using test cases. |
Could this template be modified so that if a user is not specified that the template won't leave code showing in the template? I noticed on Image:You're Pitiful.jpg that it now says "This image is copyrighted, however the copyright holder [[:User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] allows the image...". The source is not a wikipedia user, and as such cannot be put as a variable into the template. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 16:06, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Is there any way to cause this template to add the page in question to Category:Images requiring attribution only if the optional coyright-holder argument is not present? As it stands, Category:Images requiring attribution contains a certain number of links to images that are attributed, via this very template. Examples: Image:Don River, TO.jpg, Image:Exo01.jpg. — Steve Summit ( talk) 02:02, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
With the focus on free images, isn't this template a bit deprecated? If you claim an image is copyrighted, you still retain some rights and can revoke usage at any time under copyright law in spite of whatever wording is in the template. Users should be encouraged to release images to public domain or under multi-license GFDL/CC rather than this. You can't have your cake and eat it too. — M ( talk • contribs) 17:47, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Would someone familiar with syntax please edit it so that when a name is specified, it reads "The copyright holder of this file, foo, allows anyone..."? It's just a maze of curly brackets to me. I'd try it, but I don't want to break it. — SheeEttin { T/ C} 22:03, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
I have to say I agree that the template would be more useful if it supported links offsite. Most of the photos on Wikipedia that use attribution-style licenses come from non-Wikipedia users originally. (See Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Attribution.)
Perhaps something like this would work better:
{{
attribution|Copyright Holder's Name|url|user=Wikiusername|text=Required attribution text, if any}}
This would yield:
The copyright holder of this file Copyright Holder's Name ( User:Wikiusername) allows anyone to use it for any purpose, provided that the copyright holder is properly attributed. Redistribution, derivative work, commercial use, and all other use is permitted. Required attribution text goes here. |
Ideas welcome. Tim Pierce 04:11, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I'd like to suggest we change the icon on this template with File:Commons-emblem-copyright.svg. The latter resembles the red copyright icon and the registered trademark icon which are already being used in copyright templates in Wikipedia and looks like this:

A TfD was recently closed regarding {{ CopyrightFreeAttributeEmail}}. This template was essentially a duplicate of this template, but included the following e-mail parameter:
Furthermore, the copyright holder requests a courtesy email of use be sent to '''{{{2}}}''', but not required for use of image.
Should this code (or something optional/similar) be added to this template? I should note that I am neutral on this subject, but am starting the discussion due to concern expressed at the TfD. Primefac ( talk) 17:48, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

I’ve placed an implementation of this template that includes machine-readable markers in the sandbox as part of the File metadata cleanup drive. Please deploy. A demonstration that the sandbox version is functional can be seen at Template:Attribution/testcases. — RP88 ( talk) 20:00, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

It doesn't seem to cause errors, but I suspect the curly quote in <span class="licensetpl_attr”>
should be a straight quote. —
