Template:Copyvio/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage

[edit]

If a text page is a likely copyright violation, add the following before the copied text:

{{subst:copyvio|url=source(s)}} where the copyvio starts and {{copyvio/bottom}} where the copyvio ends.
{{subst:copyvio|url=source(s)|fullpage=yes}} if the entire page has a copyright issue (and {{copyvio/bottom}} at the very end of the article).

This template must always be substituted.

  • If the entire page, including all previous versions of it, is a blatant copyright violation, do not use this template and do not blank the page. Tag with {{db-copyvio}} instead.
  • If only part of the page is a likely copyright violation, you may tag only that section. The template by default will blank all content following it; to limit the blanking, place {{Copyvio/bottom}} at the point where copyright concerns end.
  • Even when blanking the entire article, you should still place {{Copyvio/bottom}} at the end of the article to avoid lint errors.
  • This template is not for use with images. Blatant image copyright violations should be tagged with {{Db-f9}}. Otherwise, suspected image violations should be tagged with {{Ffd}}. If this template is used on a page in the File namespace, it will transclude Template:Copyvio error above the notice.
  • Separate multiple URLs with spaces.
