| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Copyvio. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
If a text page is a likely copyright violation, replace the text with the following:
This template must always be substituted.
- If the entire page, including all previous versions of it, is a blatant copyright violation, do not use this template and do not blank the page, tag with {{db-copyvio}} instead.
- If only part of the page is a likely copyright violation, you may replace only that section. The template by default will blank all content following it; to limit the blanking, place
</div>at the point where copyright concerns end.
- This template is not for use with images. Blatant image copyright violations should be tagged with {{Db-f9}}. Otherwise, suspected image violations should be tagged with {{Puf}}. If this template is used on a page in the File namespace, it will transclude Template:Copyvio error above the notice.
