A single-issue user warning with the same goal as {{Uw-copyright}}, but with gentler wording for new users, and more advice.

Usage

edit
  • {{subst:Uw-copyright-new}}
  • {{subst:Uw-copyright-new|article=ArticleName|comment=Final thoughts.|student=yes/no|bold=N}}

Parameters

edit

There are three positional (unnamed) parameters (with named aliases), and two named parameters. All parameters are optional:

  • |1= (alias: article) – after the "welcome" sentence, appends: " Your addition to [[article title]] has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|permission]] from the copyright holder."
  • |2= (alias: comment) – adds extra free form text of your choice before the final "Thank you."
  • |3= (alias:student) – after "visit me at my talk page" appends: "or to reach out to your Wiki Ed content expert".

There are two named parameters for altering text style:[a]

  • |bold=N, if N is a digit 1..5, the Nth bullet point is bolded.
  • |boldtext=string of text, the first occurrence of "string of text" in the body is bolded.[b][c]

  • {{Welcome-copyright}}, combining a welcome message with a less strongly worded message on copyright

Notes

edit
  1. ^ Of the two style parameters, only one may be used. If both are used, only |boldtext= is applied.
  2. ^ Some character exclusions apply, including curly brackets ({, and }).
  3. ^ In general, avoid trailing blanks in the value of |boldtext=. This param defines a match pattern which is interpreted as param |pattern_string= in String replace, where trailing blanks are significant.
