Template:Self/doc: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 18:40, 17 March 2012

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Self (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template accepts up to 6 licenses (the first 6 unnamed parameters, which should be the names of image license templates), and displays them as options to choose between in a multi-license.

Option: Set the attribution= parameter to specify the attribution string (your name the way you want it) that re-users are obliged to name. The attribution parameter only displays in Creative Commons (CC) license tags.

Here are 4 examples of multi-license templates along with links to their component parts:

{{Self \|cc-by-sa-3.0\| GFDL}}
{{Self \|cc-by-sa-2.5 \|GFDL \|attribution=Pecos Bill, cowboy}}
{{Self \|cc-by-sa-3.0}}
{{Self \|cc-by-3.0 \|attribution=Sam McGee, Tn}}

Here below is what the first example template produces when saved in an image page.
