Template:Georgian boundaries
This template has been nominated for deletion since 16 March 2024. To discuss it, please visit the nomination page.
Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed. Reason for the nomination: Similar reasoning for Commons:Deletion requests/Template:Indian boundaries. It is not the job of Commons to point out every single national law which may affect usage of a file. Non-copyright restriction warnings such as {{Trademark}}, {{Currency}}, and {{Personality rights}} exist because they mention usually worldwide restrictions that significantly affect commercial use, modification, redistribution, and other actions that copyright may also regulate, and non-experienced users frequently don't understand that these restrictions are separate from copyright, that affected files can be hosted here despite such restrictions, and that their presence doesn't release them from such restrictions. On the other hand, this template and deals a certain government attempting to push a particular POV on a contentious topic with legal force. The issue is not the content of the file itself but rather the idea being expressed or implied not being in line with a state narrative, which is completely different from intellectual property or counterfeiting laws that affect the content itself or the publicity rights of an individual. We are able to host such files because Wikimedia Commons is based in the United States, a nation with a strong tradition of freedom of expression. It is true that many of Commons's reusers may live in nations that lack such freedom, but it is not the job of Commons to tell them what their government wants them to say or believe, especially when such ideas are often fundamental to the legitimacy or ideology of a ruling regime. If our sites, which are among the most visited and highly-publicized on the internet, can get blocked by governments for expressing verifiable facts which they may find inconvenient, we can assume that re-users in such jurisdictions are fully aware of the legal risk of using our content to challenge a state narrative without us having to tell them.

Usage
{{Georgian boundaries}}
Template parameters
- 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.
