Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free logo true – WARNING: `{{{Article}}}` does not appear to exist!
Check capitalization. Enter only the exact title of a *single* article with no [[link brackets]] or other formatting. It is also possible the indicated article was deleted.
Description	This is the logo for {{{Article}}}.
Source	The logo may be obtained from {{{Article}}}.
Article	[[{{{Article}}}]]
Portion used	The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.
Low resolution?	The logo is of a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution.
Purpose of use	Choose from: `Infobox / Org / Brand / Product / Public facility / Other`No Use specified. Choose "Use=" Infobox / Org / Brand / Product / Public facility / Other
Replaceable?	Because it is a non-free logo, there is almost certainly no free representation. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.
Other information	Use of the logo in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy, logo guidelines, and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used on approximately 117,000 pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Summary

This template is to help users write non-free use rationales for non-free logos as required by WP:NFC, WP:LOGO, and WP:NFURG. Include this in the Summary section of the image file once for each article in which the image is inserted.

This template automatically inserts standard rationale text. For a "dumb" template with manually-added fields, see {{Non-free use rationale}} or a pair of {{Non-free media data}} and {{Non-free media rationale}}.

Considerations

Please use copyrighted content responsibly and in accordance with Wikipedia policy. A template alone does not make a logo fair to use. It merely helps you state why you think it is appropriate. On the other hand, simple logos may fall under public domain. See commons:Commons:Threshold of originality for more information.

This template is optimized for logos of brands/organizations used in the article about that brand/organization. It may or may not work in other contexts. Before saving, try the "preview" feature to review the text produced by this template. Be sure the language is true and complete. If not, consider using the override fields, a different template, or a hand-written justification.

History: If logo is discontinued or modified, use this field if it is necessary to explain when and how was it used historically by the organization, item, or event. This field, if used, is appended to the logo's description, following the text: "It is a historical logo. Its historical usage is as follows:"

Override fields

Although this template is used to help automatically generate a well-written fair-use rationale text, sometimes the situation dictates that part of the automatically generated text must be overridden. These fields help you insert your own text instead of the automatically generated ones.

Source: Used to specify where and how you obtained this image. Overrides the automatically generated source information from Article, Used for and Website fields.
Portion: Used to specify whether the entire logo or part of it is used and why. Overrides the automatically generated text.
Low resolution: Used to specify whether the image is unusually large or small, and why. For SVG logos, use {{SVG-Res}}.
Replaceability: Used to explain why the image cannot be replaced with a free image, if the default explanations are not accurate
Other information: Used to supply any other information you think helps the image's non-free use case. Overrides default text.
