Template talk:Cc-by-sa-3.0

Template:Cc-by-sa-3.0 is permanently protected from editing because it is a heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's documentation to add usage notes or categories.

Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. This template does not have a testcases subpage. You can create the testcases subpage here.

[edit]

Just curious as to why this isn't available for use, and not in the Image Upload Wizard — Timothy (not Tim, dagnabbit!) 19:26, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

CC 3.0 includes a clause on preserving the author's "moral rights" in reproduced use, and thus may not be free. east.718 at 18:22, August 10, 2007

Given that this issue has been resolved, and is now accepted on the Commons site, can it be put into the Image Upload Wizard here? — Timotab ^{Timothy (not Tim}^dagnabbit!) 20:01, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from Mhiji, 13 December 2010[edit]

{{edit protected}} Could someone please move the "This template should only be used on file pages." sentence from the template to the /doc? Thanks Mhiji (talk) 13:17, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why? JamesBWatson (talk) 21:01, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(e/c)(non-admin comment) I think this is a misunderstanding, and that the text needs to stay in the template. When the template is used correctly, on a File/Image page, the text does not appear; but if anyone tries to use the template in another mainspace, the message warns them that they have used the template wrongly. -- John of Reading (talk) 21:03, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Images of non-free works[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I've implemented a tweak in the sandbox version, namely {{#ifeq:|{{{dw|no}}}|no|{{free media}}|}} instead of coding {{free media}} directly. Specfiying dw=yes will supress the categorisation in Category:All free media, for derivative works where the subject shown is non-free, and thus can't be moved to Commons.

It would be appreciated if this straightforward change was implemented in the main template.

Done. Please also remember to update the docs (although I'm sure you know this already as I've told you quite a few times by now :P). — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 11:55, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese Interwiki[edit]

Not sure where to put this... Change the Chinese(中文) interwiki to zh:Template:CC-BY-SA-3.0 please. Thank you very much. --211.91.223.83 (talk) 14:58, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done — I'm not an admin, but I did this for you. Wikipedia:Wikidata explains how to edit or add to the interlanguage links shown in the left column. —RP88 ^(talk) 18:46, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Protected edit request on 3 October 2015[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Can someone change Image: links to File: links, replace the underscores to spaces, and remove the unneeded {{PAGENAME}} sort key?

Thank you!

Not done: These changes wouldn't make any difference to how the template was parsed, but on the other hand, they would take up server resources. The WMF has a big enough server farm that re-rendering 65,000 file information pages is just a drop in the bucket, but we should probably still only make changes that make an actual difference. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 16:02, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

To remove obsolete HTML lint error, please change

<center>This template should only be used on file pages.</center>

to

<div style="text-align: center;">This template should only be used on file pages.</div>

— Anomalocaris (talk) 07:21, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Done Anomalocaris, I made this change, but I don't know that we really need to fix obsolete HTML Linter errors. We should have a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Linter.

Can you please verify that the template message is working as intended? I do not see it when I look at non-File pages, like User:Diamonddavej. Should I? – Jonesey95 (talk) 07:54, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jonesey95: I realize that obsolete HTML is a low-priority lint error, but when we have the opportunity to fix a template, I think we should. My expertise is more on fixing lint errors than knowing what templates are intended to do. On User:Diamonddavej this template is used under one of two Licensing headings. On that page, the template takes effect in the lower right corner, where there is a box that says, "This image has been (or is hereby) released into the ..." Is that the correct output of this template? —Anomalocaris (talk) 08:24, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
