Template:Non-free media rationale/doc

For copyrighted images to be used on Wikipedia in accordance with the non-free 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 Non-free media data. On every non-free image's description page, each article which uses that image must be noted, and given its own non-free use rationale. The Non-free use rationale template is too cumbersome for images used in multiple articles; in those instances, that template has to be duplicated in its entirety for each use. This template allows for the display of all necessary information without unnecessary redundancies.

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

Though the Non-free media data template need only be used once per image, a Non-free media rationale template and its parameters must be used for each article in which the image is used.

Remember that each image must also be tagged with an image copyright tag.
