Category:Attribution templates

Where Wikipedia uses large amounts of content from public-domain sources, it is appropriate to use one of these templates to note the source. This is not required by copyright law, but it is an accepted method of avoiding plagiarism. See WP:Plagiarism.

The pages listed in this category are templates.

This page is part of Wikipedia's administration and not part of the encyclopedia.

Further template category notes

This category contains pages in the template namespace. It should not be used to categorize articles or pages in other namespaces.

To add a template to this category:

If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add
[[Category:Attribution templates]]
to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add
<noinclude>[[Category:Attribution templates]]</noinclude>
to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.

Note: if there are no specific attribution templates available, consider using one of the general source attribution templates, such as: {{PD-notice}}, {{source-attribution}} or {{citation-attribution}}.
