মডেল:GFDL-with-disclaimers

This page has been nominated for speedy deletion.

If you disagree with its speedy deletion, please explain why on its talk page. If this page obviously does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice, but do not remove this notice from a page that you have created yourself.

Subject to disclaimers.

Adds pages to Category:GFDL images with disclaimers.

Explanation

This tag is part of an effort to migrate newly uploaded images to a version of the GFDL tag that does not inhibit reuse by burderning them with copies of the Wikipedia disclaimers (i.e. remove the "Subject to dislaimers" line). Such migration will put the English Wikipedia on an equal footing with the other major Wikipedias and with Commons. However, as one is legally required by the GFDL to preserve all disclaimers, that notice cannot be removed from existing images that bear it. Hence all images uploaded after the "Subject to disclaimers" line was added to the GFDL tag are being moved to this new label to correctly note their rather awkward status.

Eventually, {{GFDL}} will be replaced with this {{GFDL-no-disclaimers}}, after all existing usages of {{GFDL}} have been migrated. Dragons flight 02:06, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
