Documentation for the template: Cover Image Data-PD Renew (transcluded from Template:Cover Image Data-PD Renew/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 1964 and the copyright was not renewed.
Usage
Call this template as:
{{Cover Image Data-PD Renew
|Title=<publication title>
|Edition=<date and/or publisher>
|Pub=<the publication record number or tag>
|Publisher=<Name of publisher>
|Artist=<name of cover artist>
|ArtistId=<id of cover artist> (optional)
|Year=<Year of publication>
|Source=<origin of image>
|Side=<back or front or spine>
}}
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.
Note: In all the above examples, when a parameter is shown in angle brackets, like:
<Parameter>
then the parameter, and the angle brackets, should be replaced by the value of the parameter. For example: Title=<TITLE>
should become Title=The Name of the Book
(or whatever the name might be).
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 "Ace 1953", or some other text string which will distinguish the pictured edition from other publications of the same title. | Required Field |
Pub | The publication record number or tag. Must be a valid argument to {{P}} . (Id may be used as an alias for Pub, with the same effect.) |
Strongly encouraged. No default. |
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". Links to the artist's DB page unless the artist is "Unknown". |
ArtistId | The record number of the cover artist, if known. Used to link to artist summary page via the record number when artist's name has characters (single quotes, non-ASCII) that cause linking by name to fail. In order for this field to work, the "Artist" field also has to be filled in. | Defaults to unused. |
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". |
Example
For a usage example, see the example page.
