Template:LicenseReview/doc
This template is designed to attract license reviewers on a file, similarly to {{Flickrreview}}, but for files not coming from Flickr. However, because we have currently no automated procedure for reviewing licenses from external sites, it is a bit simpler.
The template automatically sets the following categories:
- License review needed (when used without parameters to request review)
- Files from external sources with reviewed licenses (when successfully reviewed by an administrator or trusted license reviewer)
- Possibly unfree license images (incorrect usage)
Usage
{{LicenseReview |site= |user= |date= |custom_text= }}
Or use the shorthand
Template parameters
| Parameter | Description | Default | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
site | Link to the file description page at the external site, e.g. ipernity. Should only be set by administrators and reviewers. If there is a vertical bar "|" sign, please use <nowiki>|</nowiki> or | (character entity) instead of {{!}}. | empty | required | |
user | Reviewer's user name (don't use ~~~). Should only be set by administrators and reviewers. | empty | required | |
date | Review date (use YYYY-MM-DD). Should only be set by administrators and reviewers. | empty | required | |
custom_text | Leave blank in the vast majority of cases. {{LicenseReview}} is primarily used when the external site confirms that the file is available under the stated license. In all other cases, administrators and reviewers may write a custom message describing what they found at the external site, such as evidence that the file is the uploader's own work. | empty | optional | |
