Examples

değiştir

Example 1

değiştir

* {{copyright-until|Topper|2022}}

appears as:

  • Topper — Copyrighted in the United States until 2022

In the year 2022, it will appear as:

Example 2

değiştir

* {{copyright-until|Topper|2022|pubyear=1926}}

appears as:

  • Topper (1926) — Copyrighted in the United States until 2022


In the year 2022, it will appear as:

Note that because "Topper" has a Wikipedia entry, it can be linked to with:

* {{copyright-until|Topper|2022|wikipedia=Topper (books)}}


which appears as

  • Topper — Copyrighted in the United States until 2022

Example 3

değiştir

* {{copyright until|Desire Under the Elms|wikipedia=Desire Under the Elms|bibliowiki=Desire Under the Elms|renewal=R93931|pubyear=1925|until=2021}} — This complex example creates a link to a Wikipedia page and a Bibliowiki page, adds the publication date, and adds a note about the copyright expiration, thus:

Example 4 (no title parameter)

değiştir

* {{copyright until||until=2021}}

This example doesn't have a title parameter, so the generated content starts at "Copyrighted in..."

  • Copyrighted in the United States until 2021

After 2021, nothing will be shown, but the page will still be categorised as above.

Example 5 (extra data)

değiştir

* {{copyright until|Title|extra=film by Steven Spielberg|pubyear=1973|until=2021}}

This is useful when some versions of a work are still copyrighted but others aren't.

Example 6 (author)

değiştir

* {{copyright until|Title|author=Steven Spielberg|pubyear=1973|until=2021}}

This is useful when the template is used on non-Author pages, such as portals and versions/translations pages.

Example 7 (display)

değiştir

* {{copyright until|Title (Spielberg)|display=Title|pubyear=1973|until=2021}}

* {{copyright until|Title (Austen)|display=Title|pubyear=1873|until=1921}}

This is useful for disambiguated pages.
