Template:Copyvio
(Redirected from Template:Copyrighted)
 | An editor has launched a copyright investigation involving this section. The text under investigation is currently hidden from public view, but is accessible in the page history. Please do not remove this notice or restore blanked content until the issue is resolved by an administrator, copyright clerk, or volunteer response agent.
The purported copyright violation copies text from {{{url}}} ; as such, this page has been listed on the copyright problems page. Unless the copyright status of the text of this page or section is clarified and determined to be compatible with Wikipedia's content license, the problematic text and revisions or the entire page may be deleted one week after the time of its listing. What can I do to resolve the issue?
Steps to list an article at Wikipedia:Copyright problems:
|
 | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Copyvio}}). |
Usage
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.
