Please allow upper case: new section

New page

==ENGVAR==
Per [[WP:ENGVAR]] and [[MOS:S]], the spelling "license" should be only be used in articles written in American English. In other varieties, it should be spelt as "licence". Two of the CC licences are specific to Australia, so for these the template is only likely to be used in AusE articles - I've therefore amended the spelling in the template for these two. But the other licences could be used in articles written in any variety of English. Would it be possible to add another parameter to the template code to enable the appropriate spelling to be chosen? I'm afraid the coding for this is a bit beyond me. [[User:Bazonka|Bazonka]] ([[User talk:Bazonka|talk]]) 18:19, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
:{{ping|Bazonka}} Per [[WP:ARTCON]] you should use the subject's own spelling. In this case, <s>even for the AU licenses,</s> Creative Commons specifically uses the "LICENCE" spelling ''only in the AU licenses''. --[[User:Ahecht|Ahecht]] ([[User_talk:Ahecht|TALK PAGE]]) 18:30, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
::I think you used the wrong spelling above, but I take your point. However, I guess it depends on whether the word licence/license is a descriptor of the thing called "CC BY x.x", or whether it's part of the name itself. I think it's the former (there is no capital L, and it doesn't appear in the title of the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/sa/1.0/ CC web pages]), and so I feel that the template should use the spelling that matches the article's English variety. [[User:Bazonka|Bazonka]] ([[User talk:Bazonka|talk]]) 18:46, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
:::I corrected myself above. Creative Commons does use the "CE" spelling in the legal text of the AU license, but not in the others, including international. I understand your point about whether it is part of the name or not, and I can see both sides of the argument, but if you go to https://creativecommons.org/choose/ and look at the output, it does capitalize the work "License" (for example, "This work is licensed under a [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License]"). --[[User:Ahecht|Ahecht]] ([[User_talk:Ahecht|TALK PAGE]]) 19:09, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
::::Yeah, it's not clear at all. Of course the easy solution is just to assume that "License" is part of the name, so no complex template coding would be needed (although we might want to capitalise all Ls), but it does seem wrong when the S spelling appears in a non-American article.

== Date / accessdate ==

Given that the source may be subject to change over time, shouldn't there be a date field and an accessdate fields to provide some indication of which version of source is being attributed. Obviously a source date is preferable but in its absence an accessdate is approporiate. Thank [[User:Kerry Raymond|Kerry]] ([[User talk:Kerry Raymond|talk]]) 03:33, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

== Specific attribution text, indicate modification ==

I would like to use some CC-BY 4.0 content from Google Developers. Google Developers has an [https://developers.google.com/terms/site-policies#attribution attribution policy] where they want certain attribution text to be displayed at the bottom of the page, apparently verbatim. "Portions of this page are modifications based on work created and shared by Google and used according to terms described in the Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution License." Also, CC-BY 4.0 requires that you indicate whether modifications were made. How can we use this template or how should we modify this template to be able do that? —[[User:Enervation|Enervation]] ([[User talk:Enervation|talk]]) 03:14, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

== CC by 3.0 CL ==
Is it possible to add CC by 3.0 CL to {{tl|Creative Commons text attribution notice}}? The article [[Claudio Gómez]] incorporates Spanish-language text that appears to have been taken from the BCN de Chile. The [https://www.bcn.cl/historiapolitica/convencionales_constituyentes/ficha/Claudio_G%C3%B3mez_Castro text from BCN] is licensable under CC by 3.0 CL, but the template doesn't support that. I tried seeing if I could add a switch for {{code|by3cl}}, but VRT permissions are required. In the meantime, I have the basic CC by 3.0 version of the template on the page, which I've started trying to clean up.

== Error documenting CC-BY-4.0 license ==

In the table showing usage parameters, the short name '''by4''' maps to '''Attribution 4.0 Unported (CC BY 4.0)'''. By rights, it should map to '''Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)'''. That is: "International" and not: "Unported". More information here: {{url|https://spdx.org/licenses/}} and specifically here: {{url|https://spdx.org/licenses/CC-BY-4.0.html}}.

== Update needed ==

As of June 7, 2023, Wikipedia is licensed under the Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) license. So I think this means that it's now okay to copy from journal articles bearing that license. If so, this template and its documentation needs to be updated to reflect that fact, since CC BY-SA 4.0 should now be a compatible license. Thanks, — [[User:Diannaa|Diannaa]] ([[User talk:Diannaa|talk]]) 04:21, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

:@[[User:JJMC89|JJMC89]]: I wonder if you could have a look at this? CC BY-SA 4.0 is now listed at [[WP:COMPLIC]] as being a compatible license. Could help me out here and update this template? I am afraid to attempt it myself. Thanks in advance. — [[User:Diannaa|Diannaa]] ([[User talk:Diannaa|talk]]) 19:54, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
::@[[User:Diannaa|Diannaa]]: I've done the important part of the update to allow use for CC BY-SA 4.0. The categories need some work, but I'll look at that later. — [[User:JJMC89|JJMC89]] ([[User talk:JJMC89|T]]'''·'''[[Special:Contributions/JJMC89|C]]) 10:57, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
