Documentation[ view · edit · history · purge ]

This documentation is transcluded from User:WubTheCaptain/BSD/Freedoom/doc.

A custom license template for BSD 3-clause licensed files in Category:Freedoom.

The template automatically sets the following categories:

Category:BSD licenses

Usage

This is intended to workaround the shortcomings of the {{BSD}} template for license compliance, namely omission of name of the Freedoom project from clause 3. See Commons:Village pump/Copyright/Archive/2017/08 § BSD 3-clause-like license for concerns.

Template parameters

Parameter	Description		Default	Status
`1`	Copyright holder	Ignored by this template, because of awkward edge-case side-effects to wording of clause 3 and disclaimer.	Contributors to the Freedoom project.	deprecated
`version`	Version of the BSD license (number of clauses)	Ignored by this template and always 3-clause BSD.	3	deprecated
`year`	Copyright year	Year(s) of the initial publication, as they appear in copying conditions. May be empty (if it's certain copyright years were not included), but not undefined. This behavior differs from Template:BSD.	<YEAR>	required
`typos`	Retain typos?	Whether Freedoom should be uncapitalized in few instances to freedoom like in copying conditions of old Freedoom releases. Should be set for old releases when they appear.	no	suggested

Template data

Parameter text is empty

TemplateData

TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.

Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either ‎useTemplateData=1 or ‎useTemplateData=only on the ‎/doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. ‎<nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.

Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw ‎<templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.

Discussion
There is an ongoing discussion about that matter. Feel invited to comment if you are experienced in either way, your time permits and if you like to share your opinion or to make a suggestion.
