Template:Copyvio
Usage
If a text page is a likely copyright violation, add the following before the copied text:
{subst:copyvio|url=source(s)|fullpage=yes} if the entire page has a copyright issue (and {copyvio/bottom} at the very end of the article).
This template must always be substituted.
- If the entire page, including all previous versions of it, is a blatant copyright violation, do not use this template and do not blank the page. Tag with {db-copyvio} instead.
- If only part of the page is a likely copyright violation, you may tag only that section. The template by default will blank all content following it; to limit the blanking, place {Copyvio/bottom} at the point where copyright concerns end.
- Even when blanking the entire article, you should still place {Copyvio/bottom} at the end of the article to avoid lint errors.
- This template is not for use with images. Blatant image copyright violations should be tagged with {Db-f9}. Otherwise, suspected image violations should be tagged with {Ffd}. If this template is used on a page in the File namespace, it will transclude Template:Copyvio error above the notice.
- Separate multiple URLs with spaces.
