The templates listed on this page should be used to indicate the license(s) under which media files uploaded to Wikiversity are published. Generally, media files published under a free license should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. Files may be published under multiple licenses.
Each file page should have a template indicating how it is licensed. This is required by Wikimedia Foundation policy, and is simply good practice. Re-users of Wikiversity content expect it will be freely-reusable. Some media, however, has certain restrictions in the licensing (for example the share-alike clause of some Creative Commons licenses), which the re-user must be able to easily determine. License templates categorize media so it can easily be determined what is reusable and under what conditions.
When you upload a file, copy and paste the {{Information}} template to the file page and fill in the details as shown in the following examples:
What to type
What it makes
for your own work:
{{Information
|Description = Magnetic field scheme
|Source = {{tl|own}}
|Date = <nowiki>{{date|2007-03-28}}</nowiki}}
|Author=[[User:Derbeth|]]
|Permission=Put here the licence
}}
{{Information
|Description=Scheme of human brain for the [[Neuroscience]] book
|Source=http://somewebsite.com/image.png
|Date=2006-12-21
|Author=John Smith
|Permission=http://somewebsite.com/usage.html
|other_versions=[[:Image:Brainscheme transparent.png]]
}}
If you did not add the template at the time of upload, you must edit the image description page. Do not re-upload the image; you will not be able to update the licensing or source information that way. Instead, click the edit this page tab at the top of the page, and add in the template like this: {{Templatename}}. Be careful to note the case of template names; only the first letter is case-insensitive.
