Template:Do not move to Commons
| Do not copy this file to Wikimedia Commons. No |expiry= parameter has been provided to the {{Do not move to Commons}} template, so it has either not possible to determine if or when the file ceased to be copyright in it's country of first publication, or the file should not be moved to Wikimmedia Commons for a reason other than copyright. No reason has been supplied as to why this file cannot be moved to Wikimedia Commons! |
| If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as this template is used in the standard installation of Twinkle. Thank you! |

Usage
This template must be accompanied by the appropriate copyright tag. It often accompanies {{PD-US}}.
|reason= is optional but is recommended for clarifying the reason as to why the work should not be moved to Commons. For the situation where a work of non-US origin is free content in the United States while being subject to copyright restrictions in its country of origin, the parameter can be given as |reason=US only to supply a standard explanation about the work being non-free in its country of origin.
|expiry= hides the message at the end of the given year. For example, if a work by an author who died in 1950 was first published in a country whose copyright term is life plus 70 years, use |expiry=2020, and the message would automatically disappear in 2021, when the image would be automatically placed into Category:Media now suitable for Commons.
