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.
