__NOTOC__
== Description ==
This template facilitates creating a non-free or fair use media rationale with the necessary components. Please read [[Project:Images policy]] before using this template.
== Usage ==
To use the template, copy the empty template to an image or other media file (see [[Help:Files]]) where the content is regarded to be [[w:Wikipedia:Non-free content|non-free]], and fill in applicable fields (described below).
<!-- Leave this usage template empty! There is an example in the next section -->

</pre>
;<code>Description</code>: A description of the copyrighted material. '''Always include the copyright holder here.'''
;<code>Source</code>: Where you acquired the copyrighted material, or how you regenerated it.
;<code>Article</code>: The exact name of the Wikipedia article in which the media is to be used (unlinked, as the template will link automatically).
;<code id="note-portion">Portion</code>: How much copyrighted material is used? The amount used must not make the work as a whole less valuable to the copyright holder.
;<code id="note-resolution">Low resolution</code>: Is the material in a lower resolution that would be unlikely to impact the copyright owners ability to resell or otherwise profit from the work? For images, this would be strictly the [[w:image resolution|resolution]] (in pixels) of the picture used; for audio, this would be the [[w:bit rate|bit rate]] and [[w:sampling (signal processing)|sample resolution]] used. [[w:Scalable Vector Graphics|SVG]] images do not technically have a resolution, so may be described using "SVG will be rendered at low resolutions".
;<code id="note-purpose">Purpose</code>: How does the media contribute significantly to the article(s) in which it is used? The use of the media must not interfere with the media's original purpose.
;<code id="note-replace">Replaceability</code>: Explain why sourced text or equivalent [[w:free content|free content]] media (perhaps to be obtained or created) could not adequately convey the article subject.
;<code>Other information</code>: If applicable, provide any other information that justifies the current use of this non-free media. This variable is optional, and can be blank or removed.
