The template description below will not be displayed when the template is placed.
Template: v · d · eTemplate/doc: v · d · e

This Creative Commons license template is intended to be used if you are:

  1. The copyright holder.
  2. Want to release your file under the following license: Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0)

There are two ways to include this license for your work: as wikitext in the Summary box or via the Licensing drop-down list. Because this license uses attribution, it is recommended you include your name/username (or however you would like to recognised) in the license. With this included in the template others who use your work will be able to use attribution to recognise you as the author.

Example 1: Using the drop down selector

Using the drop-down method will automatically include the license 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 license, however, for own work with this license it is not recommended. If an image is uploaded using this method, you can edit it afterwards to include your name.

I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby publish it under the following license:
This file is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license.

You are free:
  • To share – copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format.
  • To remix – adapt, transform and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially.

Under the following conditions:

  • Attribution – You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.
  • ShareAlike – If you adapt, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original.

No additional restrictions — You may not apply legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits.


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 license:

{{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]]}}
}}

The above will render as:

Description A description for your image here
Source Own work
Author John Smith
Date 1 January, 2023

No additional restrictions — You may not apply legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits.

Example 3: Using a separate level 2 heading

By omitting the license text from the Permission/license field in the information template, you can utilise a separate license section by including it under a level 2 heading like this:

==Licensing==
{{cc-by-sa-4.0 (self)|[[User:John Smith|John Smith]]}}

Which will render as:
