Template:Non-free use rationale serial publication/doc

From Nordic Larp Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This template is to help users write fair use rationales for non-free serial publication covers and other serial publication art as required by WP:NFC and WP:FURG. Include this in the image file, once for each time you insert the publication art image into an article.


Please use copyrighted content responsibly and in accordance with Wikipedia policy. A template alone does not make serial publication cover art fair to use. It merely helps you state why you think it is appropriate.

This template is optimized for serial publication cover art used in the article about the publication. It may or may not work in other contexts. For example, this fair use rationale may not be appropriate for images of books.

Before saving, try the "preview" feature to review the text produced by this template. Be sure the language is true and complete. If not, consider using the override fields, a different template, or a hand-written justification.
