Template:Attribution/doc

This template can be used in four ways:

• with no copyright holder specified (as seen above): {{attribution}}
• with a copyright holder specified who has a page on Wikipedia: {{attribution|User:Someuser}} or {{attribution|Home Corporation}}
• or the same as previous but with specified link text: {{attribution|User:Someuser|My full name}}
• with a copyright holder specified who does not have a page on Wikipedia: {{attribution||Name of copyright holder}} (note the double pipe)

In addition, if a specific manner of attribution is required, or other qualification on use (must not limit to educational or non-profit, or prevent derivatives) you may specify this: {{attribution|User:Someuser|text=Required attribution text: by Someuser, available from (link).}}

Alternatives

Two general purpose templates for attributing specific sources where the text has been copied into Wikipedia from a public-domain source:

• {{citation-attribution}}
• {{source-attribution}}

Three general purpose templates for attributing specific sources where the text has been copied into Wikipedia from a compatibly-licensed source:

• {{Dual}}: for content imported from a source that may be reused under both CC-By-SA 3.0 and GFDL
• {{CCBYSASource}}: for content imported from a source compatible for reuse under CC-By-SA 3.0 but not GFDL
