Template:PD-signature/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Parameter

[edit]

The template takes one mandatory parameter, which is the name of the source country (the country of first publication, if known, or as a fallback the individual's country of nationality) so that a judgement can be made as the minimum level of originality required under local law. If the signature can be copyrighted in the source country, the image should be tagged with {{Do not move to Commons}}.

Usage

[edit]
  • {{PD-signature|countryname}}, for example: {{PD-signature|Germany}}

TemplateData
