Forum:Licensing

Hi, I am the creator of CardGuide Wiki. I have a question about the licenses.

When I upload an image I must select a license. Mostly it is Creative Commons, some cards are scanned by me.

When I'm editing an Image page, the chosen license is invisible. How can I make it visible?

Thank you very much! vuurvosje 08:49, August 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * You need to be an admin, but you can edit the list of licenses at w:c:cardguide:MediaWiki:Licenses. The format of the page is as follows:

 etc...
 * License description 1
 * Licensetemplate1|Link name for Licensetemplate1
 * License description 2
 * Licensetemplate2|Link name for Licensetemplate2
 * License description 3
 * Licensetemplate3|Link name for Licensetemplate3
 * The name of the license template like Licensetemplate1 (or as a real example No license) corresponds to a template on your wiki. So No license corresponds to a template Template:No license on your wiki.
 * So if you want a new license to appear on the upload popup or page, just make a new lic Licenense template (you can use the existing ones as examples to start from) like Template:New license, and add an entry in the MediaWiki:Licenses page like:


 * Pick this new license if...
 * New license|My new license

I have a question on this matter, if I have a template like, how I made it the dafault template? Basically if someone leaves "none selected" then that template will be added. And is there a way to call a template with a parameter? like
 * License description
 * Template|Parameter=value|Description
