Template talk:Attribution

From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository

Could it not be useful to add a parameter which would let you add the name/website/organisation which needs to be attributed? Similar to how PD-User works. /Lokal_Profil 13:37, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Added as an optional parametre. Samulili 10:00, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Please change parametre into parameter. --✉Hello World! 02:41, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Done. pfctdayelise (说什么?) 14:57, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

I do not see how this license is different from the Creative Commons Attribution license.--68.43.124.79 23:56, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

cc-by is particular license. Template:Attribution should be used for works, whose copyright holder released them under a similar license, but not cc-by in particular. --DStoykov 19:44, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Interwiki

Please, add:

[[bg:Шаблон:Attribution]]
[[en:Template:Attribution]]

[edit] Comparation

What is the difference between this licence and Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike (cc-by-sa)? --PAD (talk) 09:49, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike cannot be relicensed (must stay {{cc-by-sa}}). {{Attribution}} can be changed to any other license that requires attribution, i.e. cc-by-sa or GFDL.

However, I don't quite grasp the difference between {{attribution}} and {{cc-by}}, which is not a ShareAlike license. --Botev (talk) 15:26, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
