Template:Attribution/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Attribution.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template can be used in four ways:

with no copyright holder specified (as seen above): {{attribution}}
with a copyright holder specified who has a page on Wikipedia: {{attribution|User:Someuser}} or {{attribution|Home Corporation}}
or the same as previous but with specified link text: {{attribution|User:Someuser|My full name}}
with a copyright holder specified who does not have a page on Wikipedia: {{attribution||Name of copyright holder}} (note the double pipe)

In addition, if a specific manner of attribution is required, or other qualification on use (must not limit to educational or non-profit, or prevent derivatives) you may specify this: {{attribution|User:Someuser|text=Required attribution text: by Someuser, available from (link).}}
