Custom author tag

If you would like, you can supply an unnamed parameter with this template to provide the way you'd like to be attributed – for example, your full name or a link to your Commons userpage.

Example:

Creative Commons 4.0

To use the newer 4.0 version of the license which is (among other improvements) easier to read:

{{GFDL-CC-triple|cc=4.0}}

or use the shorthand {{GFDL-CC-triple-4.0}}. Both produce:

Only CC-NC and GFDL

Effective 15 October 2018 this is no longer an option for media like photos and video. See the accepted proposal to phase out GFDL for most media. Existing content is not affected. Read Commons:Licensing for the current policy.

If you don't want to distribute the work under a commercially-compatible CC license, you may do so by supplying a nc=yes parameter. This makes the template essentially equivalent to {{Cc-by-nc-sa-2.0-dual}}, except that the CC license version is 3.0 and not 2.0.

{{GFDL-CC-triple|nc=yes}}
