From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Purpose of the Image License List

[edit]

The Image License List is used to identify images which can freely be used in PDFs and books generated with the Collection Extension.

In order not to violate any copyrights all images that have not explicitly been marked as free to use will be omitted in the PDF or book. Therefore it is important to maintain this list.

Basically this page contains a machine readable list of image license templates and the information if they are free to use.

How to use it

[edit]

In order to use the Image License List, the content of this page should be copied (and potentially translated) to the appropriate Wiki (e.g. different language version). Furthermore the template {{/ImageLicenseItem}} also needs to be copied.

After that some system messages need to be adapted. This needs to be done, for the PDF renderer to be able to know where to look for the Image License List and how to parse its content.

The following system messages need to be configured:

coll-ImageLicenseList
Location of the Wiki page where the Image License List is maintained.
Example: coll-ImageLicenseList=User:Volker.haas/ImageLicenseList
coll-ImageLicenseInfoTemplate
Name of the Image License Info Template including its parameters. The value needs to be in the following format: Name of the ImageLicenseInfoTemplate and all its parameters separated by semicolons. The order of the paramter names must be the same as described below.
Example: coll-ImageLicenseInfoTemplate=Template:ImageLicenseItem;template_name;license;display_allowed;license_text_url;full_text_required;description

How it works

[edit]

The arguments of the {{/ImageLicenseItem}} will be parsed and used to distinguish between free and non-free images. To add a previously unknown license to the list simply add an entry like the following to the list below:

{{/ImageLicenseItem
|template_name=cc-by-1.0
|license=Creative Commons Attribution
|display_allowed=yes
|license_text_url=http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/1.0/
|full_text_required=no
|description=You are free to share (to copy, distribute and transmit the work) to 
Remix (to adapt the work) under the following conditions: '''Attribution''' — You 
must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not 
in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).
}}

Explanation of the template arguments

[edit]

The software using the ImageLicense list relies on the correct use of the named template arguments.

template_name
The name of the template that is used on an Image Description page.
license
Name of the license. This will be displayed in the derived works to identify the license
display_allowed
Indicates if this license can freely be used in derived, commercial third party applications. Allowed values yes or no.
license_text_url
URL of the full License Text
full_text_required
Indicates if the full text of the license needs to be displayed. Allowed values yes or no.
description
Description of the license and further information.

Display Template for the Image License list

[edit]

The specific implementation of the template used to display the license list does not really matter. All software using this list should only rely on the format of the template arguments. The implementation of the template is a matter of taste and readability of the list (in this case a table). The current example implementation can be found here
