General
[edit]- Use {{Copyrighted-Layout}} or {{Other License-Layout}} for your table's layout or use {{License}} instead of a table.
- Your template should be metadata-compatible.
- Your template should be documented.
- Your template must be in one or more license tag categories.
Optional
[edit]- Your template adds a category to file pages it is used on, and allows other templates to override this category, e.g. using
<includeonly>{{{category|[[Category:My license]]}}}</includeonly>. - List your template at Commons:Copyright tags.
Translation
[edit]- Some template-texts are translated through translatewiki.net using MediaWiki messages there. This requires contacting someone with the right connections there or submitting a patch against Extension:WikimediaMessages (Gerrit • Phabricator • GitHub) and getting it reviewed.
- {{Autotranslate}} can be used otherwise: Help:Autotranslate
