Template:Boilerplate music cover fur/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Boilerplate music cover fur (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 is to help users write fair use rationales for non-free album covers and other music cover art as required by WP:NFC and WP:FURG, it also includes the {{Non-free album cover}} tag and a place for a description so only one template need be used on one image.

[edit] Syntax

There are several ways of using, the easiest is as follows:

{{Boilerplate music cover fur|1999 album |[[beacon]]|[[Toast]]}}

Which will have this effect:

The cover of the 1999 album beacon, by Toast
Fair use logo Though this image is subject to copyright, its use in the article beacon is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:
  • It's a low resolution copy of a CD/album cover.
  • It doesn't limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the CD/album in any way, in fact, it may encourage sales.
  • Because of the low resolution, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the album artwork on another CD.
  • The image is itself a subject of discussion in the article or used in the infobox thereof.
  • The image on the cover is significant because it was made by the famous artist, Toast.
Source:
  1. Derived from a digital capture (scan/photo) of the album/CD cover (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party) or an original pre-print file released by the copyright holder or designer. Copyright held by the record company or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.

With the template {{Non-free album cover}} in-between the description and fair use sections, which was removed on this demo.

The optional full use of it is as follows:

{{Boilerplate music cover fur
| description   =
| fur           =
| copyright     =
}}

Using this one will allow you to input your own description, fair use and copyright tag.

Other syntax:

{{Boilerplate music cover fur
| boiler1       =
| intro         =
| type          =
| format        =
| extra fur     =
| source        =
| image         =
}}
  • boiler1 - replaces or removes the entire description box
  • intro - replaces or removes the "The cover of the" part in the description
  • type - replaces or removes the "CD/album" parts of the fair use rational
  • format - replaces or removes the "CD" part at the end of the 3rd point in the fair use rational
  • extra fur - allows the addition of extra points to the rational
  • source - replaces or removes the default source info
  • image - adds an image to the left, full image code required (eg. [[Image:Imbox license.png|40px|Description]] ).

The complete syntax, with all options:

{{Boilerplate music cover fur|1999 album |[[beacon]]|[[Toast]]|
| intro         =
| type          =
| format        =
| extra fur     =
| source        =
| image         =
| description   =
| fur           =
| copyright     =
| boiler1       =
}}

Use of this is unnecessary as some options are unavailable while others are in use
