Below is an email template for a declaration of consent to use copyright-protected media (images, video clips, sound files, etc.) on any project related to Wikimedia Commons. Copyright holders should send completed templates to [email protected], which serves as the Wikimedia Foundation's central archive for permissions, and then tag the subject file(s) with {{subst:PP}}. For a full description of this process, see Commons:Volunteer Response Team.

If you have been directed to this page because you wish to release the rights to a file to which you own the copyright, please consider clicking on the link above rather than completing the following email template. The Interactive Release Generator is designed to make the process of releasing the rights to a file efficient and simple. The use of the following template, though still perfectly valid and certainly useful as a work of reference, is now discouraged and should only be used in exceptional circumstances. Thank you! Email message template for release of rights to a fileWe receive a large number of email messages from copyright holders wishing to allow Wikipedia to reuse their content (messages such as, "I allow Wikipedia to reuse my photos", etc.).
