ಟೆಂಪ್ಲೇಟು:Non-free historic image
Please remember that the non-free content criteria require that non-free images on Wikipedia must not "[be] used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media." Use of historic images from press agencies must only be of a transformative nature, when the image itself is the subject of commentary rather than the event it depicts (which is the original market role, and is not allowed per policy).
- Please add a detailed non-free use rationale for each article the image is used in, which must also declare compliance with the other parts of the non-free content criteria, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
- For example non-free use rationales, see Wikipedia:Use rationale examples.
- Template:Non-free use rationale 2 may be helpful for stating the rationale.

Usage
[ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ]The template takes an unnamed parameter, being the name of the article in which the file is used:
- {{Non-free historic image|article name}}
Also available is |agency= which, when set equal to "no", will disable the "agency" part of the first sentence:
- "This image is a faithful digitisation of a unique historic image, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the person who created the image."
If the image has an appropriate rationale then a reviewer will append
|image has rationale=yes
This will stop the message in the lower part of the template from being displayed.
Use of this template in the File space assigns pages to Category:Wikipedia non-free historic files.
