View source for Category:File licensing templates

==Templates for file licensing purposes==
When uploading a new file, you should be able to choose one of these licenses form a drop-down menu. You can also just add the appropriate code in the brackets on the "summary" section of the file upload, or add it afterwards by editing the file page. Eventually, all files on PlentyWiki should display one of these templates.
<noinclude>
===For works that are NOT of your own making===
If you are unsure of which license to use, add ''<nowiki>{{No license/unknown}}</nowiki>'' to get this (not recommended):
{{No license/unknown}} 

In case you have someone's permission to add their work to '''this wiki specifically''', you can use ''<nowiki>{{Specific permission from copyright holder|[[Name of the artist]]}}</nowiki>'' (edit in the artist's name and if possible a link to the permission) to get this:
{{Specific permission from copyright holder}}

In case of an artist like John Howe who has given a '''general permission''' to use his art in appropriate context on non-commercial websites with credit, you can use ''<nowiki> {{Non-commercial fair use permission|[[Name of the copyright owner]]}}</nowiki>'' to get this:
{{Non-commercial fair use permission}}

If you're adding an image of an '''album cover''' or other recording (such as an audiobook), use ''<nowiki>{{Album cover|[[Name of the artist]]}}</nowiki>'' to get this:
{{Album cover}}

If you're adding an image of a '''book cover''', use ''<nowiki>{{Book cover|[[Name of the artist]]}}</nowiki>'' to get this:
{{Book cover}}

If you're adding an image of a '''magazine or fanzine cover''', use ''<nowiki>{{Magazine cover|[[Name of the artist]]}}</nowiki>'' to get this:
{{Magazine cover}}

If the image file only consists of '''simple text, geometric shape''' or such, use ''<nowiki>{{Logos}}</nowiki>'' to get this:
{{Logos}}

===For works of your own making===
==== Permission for PlentyWiki only ====
If you simply want to '''add your own artwork to an article''' here but do not want to release it under any specific licence at the moment, here's how you can do that.
In the file page of your work, add <br />
''<nowiki>{{Personal permission for the PlentyWiki|[[Name of the artist]]}}</nowiki>''
<br />
and replace "name of the artist" with your own name. Feel free to also link your website to your name, or to link your wiki user page. <br />
This is what will be displayed on the file page:
{{Personal permission for the PlentyWiki|[[Name of the artist]]}}

==== Creative Commons Licences ====
If you are familiar with the Creative Commons licences, you can choose one of them to publish your own work here.
'''If you would like to release your work under a licence that is not listed, please feel free to request it!'''
