PipeProject:Licensing
This Template:Color-link-piped is devoted to manually put correct licensing templates (this includes personal image templates, though they are not license templates) for already-uploaded images, an arduous task since there is currently over 2500 files uploaded, many of them since licensing was implemented on October 7th.
Shortcut
Bookmark http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php/PP:LI or search PP:LI when you log in.
Goal
Edit as many image pages as possible to include proper licenses, by way of one or more of the following techniques:
- Look at all the pages of the image namespace and add licenses one by one
- Use Special:Random to find an article with a file, and check for it to have a license
- During your contributions, checking every image you come across
Using the proper format (explained below). If you would like to help uploading images, which now supports licenses, consider joining PipeProject:Media instead.
Members
If you pledge to help add licenses often, instead of during your normal contributions to the wiki (ie much of your time instead just a little of your time), add your name here using #~~~:
Userbox
| Licensing's Userbox Tower | ||
| ||
|
As usual, userbox is entirely optional.
Code:
{{userbox|border=#050|mainbkgd=#0B0|codebkgd=white|codecolor=white|
code=[[Image:Green copyright.png|50px]]|msg=This user has been licensed
to join the [[PipeProject:Licensing|Licensing PipeProject]].}}
Structure
Image Page
The following should be the format on image pages:
- == Summary ==
- Put original summary here
- == Licensing ==
- proper template according to Category:Image copyright tags
Proper Template
The link to the possible licensing templates is above. There are over 30 possibilities, but 6 are the most common:
- {{game-screenshot}} – Video game screenshot (includes official game sprites)
- {{game-cover}} – Video game cover
- {{character-artwork}} – Character artwork
- {{game-logo}} – Video game logo
- {{promophoto}} – Promotional photo
- {{soundclip}} – Sound Clip
