[edit] Wording

I guess the subtle distinction I've tried to make in reverting the change of "qualified" to "qualifies" is being missed, so I'll make it explicit. By adding this tag someone can only assert that the use of the image qualified as fair use at the time the tag was added. They can't assert (with any degree of assurance that they are correct) that the use of the image will always qualify as fair use. This is why I think we should use the term "qualified", not "qualifies". If someone disagrees with this, people give an explanation here. anthony 19:19, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Other templates are more definitive. For example, Template:GFDL says "Permission is granted", not "The person who added this tag asserts that permission is granted". How about rephrasing this template as follows:

This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket fair use categories listed at Wikipedia:Fair use#Images or Wikipedia:Fair use#Audio_clips. The use of this work in [[{{{1}}}]] qualifies as fair use of the material under United States copyright law. To the person adding the tag: Please provide a detailed rationale explaining why this use qualifies as fair use.

The point being that if the use in the cited article actually isn't fair use, the tag should be removed anyway. dbenbenn | talk 15:18, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

No objections, so I made that change. dbenbenn | talk 08:54, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

To an admin who can edit this: I transplanted the current text into the new template named Fair use in2. Sample below:

Done (I'm in the process of reformatting all of them, but I hadn't got around to this one yet). Thanks, JYolkowski // talk 23:23, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit request

Could an admin fix this template to use |{{PAGENAME}} in the category so that it is in Category:Non-free image copyright tags in the right place, rather than under the T's? Thanks. BigDT 02:57, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Done. —Ruud 00:48, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Templates for multiple articles

{{fairusein2}}, {{fairusein3}}, {{fairusein4}}, and {{fairusein5}} survived a TfD. Original message moved from their talk pages (which have been redirected here):

TfD debate

This template survived a discussion at TfD. The debate can be found here. -Splash^talk 18:32, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

All of the fairusein2, fairusein3, and so on should be merged into the {{fairusein}} template, in the same way that {{main articles}} was merged into {{main}}.

I am merging their talk pages to here. — Omegatron 13:28, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No parameter?

Can someone with templatespace experience answer the following? Is it possible to have this template add the media it has been applied to into a deletion category if there is no parameter? That is, if someone adds {{Fair use in}} only, can we do something more useful than just rendering a broken field? Jkelly 01:10, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Interwiki
