If the image has no source, add {{subst:nsd}}

It really doesn't have anything to do with the subject of this template in my opinion. QuickQuokka ^{[⁠talk • contribs]} 00:15, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure I understand, editor QuickQuokka – the subject of this template is that an editor thinks a particular image could be "free", or in other words, not "non-free". If the image has a source, then its copyright status is easier to determine, correct? So why would it not be pertinent to apply {{subst:nsd}} if the image isn't sourced? P.I.

@Paine Ellsworth: Ohhh, that makes sense. I will now close this request.
