Template:Non-free media data/doc

For copyrighted images to be used on Wikipedia in accordance with the fair use policy, they must meet all ten requirements of the Non-free content criteria. This template and others like it allow for a standardized way of providing this information. This template is an alternate to the Non-free use rationale template.

This template is designed to be used in conjunction with one or more instances of the Non-free media rationale.

On any non-free image's description page, each article which uses that image must be noted, and must be given its own fair use rationale. The Non-free use rationale template is too cumbersome for those images which appear in multiple articles – in such instances, that template must be duplicated in its entirety for each use, thus generating unnecessary redundancy. This alternative template, on the other hand, allows for the display of all necessary information without any redundancy.

Usage
Copy the following code and paste onto the appropriate image description page.

Athough Non-free media data (this template) need only be used once per image, a completed Non-free media rationale template must be used for each article in which the image is used.

Remember that each image must also be tagged with a non-free image copyright tag.
