Template:Album cover fur/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Album cover fur (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is to help users write fair use rationales for non-free album covers and other music cover art as required by WP:NFC and WP:FURG. Include this in the image file after the {{non-free album cover}} template, once for each time you insert the album cover art image into an article.

Please use copyrighted content responsibly and in accordance with Wikipedia policy. A template alone does not make cover art fair to use. It merely helps you state why you think it is appropriate.

This template is optimized for album cover art used in the article about the album. Other contexts may work, but it may not. Before saving, try the "preview" feature to review the text produced by this template. Be sure the language is true and complete. If not consider using the override fields or a hand-written justification.
