Documentation for the template: Cover Image Data-PD Old (transcluded from Template:Cover Image Data-PD Old/Doc)

Purpose

This template is to be placed on the image description page of a book, magazine, or other publication cover image that is in the public domain because it was published before 1923.

Usage

Call this template as:

{{Cover Image Data-PD Old
|Title=<publication title>
|Edition=<date and/or publisher>
|Publisher=<Name of publisher>
|Artist=<name of cover artist>
|Year=<Year of publication>
|Source=<origin of image>
|Side=<BackOrFront>
}}

All parameter names have an inital capitol letter. Case is significant in a parameter name. The order of the parameters is not significant, but the order above is suggested, as it is the order of use within the template.

Parameter definitions

Parameter Description Default
Title Should specify the actual title of the book or other publication whose image is being displayed. Required Field
Edition Ideally should specify the year and publisher, as "Scribner's 1913", or some other text string which will distinguish the pictured edition from other publications of the same title. Required Field
Publisher Should specify the name of the publisher of the publication displayed, for proper attribution. Defaults to "Unknown".
Artist The name of the cover artist. If omitted, defaults to "Unknown".
Year Year of publication. Must be prior to 1964 to support public domain status. Required Field
Source Website where the image was obtained, or name or handle of user who scanned the image. If omitted, defaults to "Unknown".
Side should be "back" if this is a (rare) back-cover image. If omitted, defaults to "front".
