== Usage ==
'''This template must be accompanied by the appropriate [[Wikipedia:File copyright tags/Public domain|copyright tag]].''' It often accompanies {{tlx|PD-US}}.

{{para|reason}} is optional but is recommended for clarifying the reason as to why the work should not be moved to Commons. For the situation where a work of non-US origin is [[free content]] in the United States while being subject to copyright restrictions in its country of origin, the parameter can be given as {{para|reason|US only}} to supply a standard explanation about the work being non-free in its country of origin.

{{para|expiry}} hides the message at the end of the given year. For example, if a work by an author who died in 1950 was first published in a country whose copyright term is life plus 70 years, use {{para|expiry|2020}}, and the message would automatically disappear in 2021, when the image would be automatically placed into [[:Category:Media now suitable for Commons]].

== Examples ==
;{{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}
:Always shows the template.
;{{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|expiry{{=}}2020}}
:Shows the message until December 31, 2020, but hides it starting January 1, 2021.
;{{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|reason{{=}}US only}}
:For situations where a work of non-US origin is free content in the United States but non-free or potentially non-free in its country of origin.
;{{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|reason{{=}}GFDL only}}
:See [[:c:Commons:Licensing#GNU Free Documentation License]]
;{{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|reason{{=}}<var>Other reason</var>}}
:For situations where more clarification as to why it should not be uploaded to Commons is needed.
