There are two ways to include this license for your work: as wikitext in the '''Summary''' box or via the '''Licensing''' drop-down list. |
||
==Example 1: Using the drop down selector== |
|||
Using the drop-down method will automatically include the licence under a separate level 2 heading but without the attribution filled in. This is the easiest method if you do not need to include your name inside the licence, however, for '''own work''' with this licence it is not recommended. If an image is uploaded using this method, you can edit it afterwards to include your name. |
|||
{{cc-by-sa-4.0 (self)}} |
|||
==Example 2: Using wikitext inside the information box== |
|||
Filling in the information like this is a recommended option as you have full control how your attribution is shown within the licence: |
|||
<pre> |
|||
{{Information |
|||
|description = A description for your image here |
|||
|source = Own work |
|||
|author = [[User:John Smith|John Smith]] |
|||
|date = 1 January, 2023 |
|||
|other_versions = |
|||
|permission = {{cc-by-sa-4.0 (self)|[[User:John Smith|John Smith]]}} |
|||
}} |
|||
</pre> |
|||
The above will render as: |
|||
{{Information |
|||
|description = A description for your image here |
|||
|source = Own work |
|||
|author = [[User:John Smith|John Smith]] |
|||
|date = 1 January, 2023 |
|||
|other_versions = |
|||
|permission = {{cc-by-sa-4.0 (self)|[[User:John Smith|John Smith]]}} |
|||
}} |
|||
==Example 3: Using a separate level 2 heading== |
|||
By omitting the licence text from the '''Permission/licence''' field in the information template, you can utilise a separate licence section by including it under a level 2 heading like this: |
|||
<pre> |
|||
==Licensing== |
|||
{{cc-by-sa-4.0 (self)|[[User:John Smith|John Smith]]}} |
|||
</pre> |
|||
Which will render as: |
|||
==Licensing== |
|||
{{cc-by-sa-4.0 (self)|[[User:John Smith|John Smith]]}} |
|||
==Final note== |
|||
It doesn't really matter which method you prefer as long as you, the copyright holder, are properly credited for your work should it be used by someone else. To ensure this is the case, always fill your name in the '''author''' field and the '''attribution''' section of the licence. |
