Template:Non-free film poster: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 15:08, 28 May 2023

This image is of a film poster, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher or the creator of the work depicted. It is believed that the use of scaled-down, low-resolution images of film posters

to provide critical commentary on the film in question or of the film poster itself, not solely for illustration
where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader:

Please add a detailed non-free use rationale for each article the image is used in, which must also declare compliance with the other parts of the non-free content criteria, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
For example non-free use rationales, see Wikipedia:Use rationale examples.
This tag should only be used for film posters. Do not use it for other purposes.
Try using Template:Non-free use rationale poster to state the rationale.
If this is not a film poster, replace it with Template:Non-free poster.

To patrollers and administrators: If this image has an appropriate rationale please append |image has rationale=yes as a parameter to the license template.

Template documentation[ view · edit · history · purge ]

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Non-free film poster/doc.

Template:Non-free film poster is used to tag non-free film posters. This template must be placed in the Licensing section of non-free film posters to identify them as such. Note: Posters with US copyrights before 1964 are mostly in the public domain due to failure to formally renew the copyright on the poster. In this case the template {{PD-art|PD-US-not renewed}} should be used instead of this template. See Copyright renewal. For more information see Template:Non-free poster.

Usage

Simply insert this template into the Licensing section of an image description page. It should look like this:

==Licensing==
{{Non-free film poster}}

Doing so will alternatively put the image into Category:Fair use images of film posters category. However, you have the option of putting the image into one of the appropriate sub-categories such as Category:Film posters for Kannada-language films. To do so, simply pass the name of the category as the first unnamed parameter. The following example puts the image into Film posters for Kannada language films:

==Licensing==
{{Non-free film poster|Film posters for Kannada language films}}

Make sure you preview your edit and verify the result.

This template is able to make use of category redirects.
