How is this relevant to this template? Multichill (talk) 18:46, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

The attribution done through these templates is currently not supported by Wikipedia's PDF export/book function.  Docu  at 19:20, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Hardcoded deed.en?

The licensetpl_link field always contains an URL to the English license deed, even when the template is displayed in a different language (for which there is a translated version on creativecommons.org), see e.g. [1]. I guess we cannot use just {{int:lang}}, since the list of languages supported on creativecommons.org is much narrower than on Commons, but we should add a parameter (say, deedlanguage) with a default of the current “en”. --Mormegil (talk) 22:41, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

That's only machine code. The user gets a link to the translated version (if available). In your example I end up at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/cz/deed.cs . Multichill (talk) 08:18, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

What does it mean “only machine code”, and who is “the user”? Maybe we should clearly define what should the licensetpl_link field contain and what could it be used for. The license URL to be used in metadata is (I believe) without the “deed.en” part at all. The licensetpl_link field is currently used by the stockphoto gadget to construct attribution, where proper deed.xx might be in place. See e.g. [2], click “Použít soubor” and you’ll get the nonsensical “deed.en” there. --Mormegil (talk) 11:40, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Proposed change for licensetpl_link

Edit request

{{Editprotected}} Remove the |link= from the file links to provide attribution as required by their licenses by enabling linking. Ramaksoud2000 (talk) 16:38, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

 Not done it's {{PD-ineligible}} and linking is very confusing in the interface.

Edit request for SA icon

Could the [[Image:Cc-sa.svg]] in the template be changed to [[Image:Cc-sa white.svg]]? For wikis that have non-white backgrounds and use InstantCommons, CC-BY-SA templates display the ShareAlike icon with a transparent background. The white-background version of the Attribution icon is used, so it would probably be better to make the ShareAlike icon use the white background as well.

Wrong short name

{{Editprotected}} The "licensetpl_short" abreviation is wrong. It should be "CC BY-SA X.0" not "CC-BY-SA-X.0" per e.g. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en.

The same also applies to {{Cc-by-layout}}. /André Costa (WMSE) (talk) 08:39, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

@Fabrice Florin (WMF): since this might affect the MultimediaViewer (since the change would show up in CommonsMetadata). /André Costa (WMSE) (talk) 08:51, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Please confirm first that nothing explodes. Multichill (talk) 17:22, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Edit request: Heavily used template

{{Edit request}} Please add <noinclude>{{heavily used template}}</noinclude> to the top of this high use template (example). Riley Huntley (talk) 08:37, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Invoke module directly

{{Edit request}} Similarly to Template talk:Cc-by-sa-4.0#Invoke module directly and other edit requests linked at T380544, please change SDC_statement_exist to #invoke:SDC_tracking|SDC_statement_exist to invoke the module directly. This should remove millions of rows from the templatelinks table, which is important because the table is growing rather large on Commons (see T343131). (Unlike {{SDC statement has value}}, {{SDC statement exist}} isn’t quite just a wrapper around the Module call, but the {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|File|...}} condition which it adds is already present in this layout template, so it should still be fine to skip the “exist” template.)

Please note that I have not yet tested the proposed change. I suggest you use the Preview page with this template feature on, for instance, File:-FsA14 - Freiheit statt Angst 036 (15082065481) (2) (cropped).jpg (or any other file in Category:Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike missing SDC copyright status) – this should be easier than setting up a sandbox version of the template.

Pinging @Platonides who kindly fulfilled several other edit requests in this direction. Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 14:36, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
