Template:Software screenshot rationale (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Screenshot rationale (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This is an excessively complicated FUR which has very low use because most software screenshots use either the general {{Non-free use rationale}} or in some rare cases {{Non-free image data}}. While one option would be to move software screenshots over, that would be time consuming, and there is nothing that this template would convey but a well filled out general Non-free use rationale would not convey.

In short this is a confusing and entirely redundant template.

If the consensus is for delete, I will personally ensure that the seven files currently using this (soon to be four) are converted properly. Sven Manguard Wha? 07:09, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • I can't see any compelling argument not to just use the standard FUR template here. The additional boilerplate about "not enabling users to create infringing copies of the software" is a little bizarre; it's difficult to come up with a situation where that would ever be possible from a screenshot. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 11:42, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just added Screenshot rationale, which redirects to Software screenshot rationale, to this TfD. Sven Manguard Wha? 08:12, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep First I would like to address the perceived low usage. There was another template (I cannot remember the name, sorry) that insisted on users substituting it into a page instead of transcluding it. I created this one so that it does not require substitution and put in parameters to allow it to cover a variety of screenshots with tailored messages. Additionally, I would like to point out that {{Non-free use rationale}} is made to facilitate the creation of domain specific templates. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 18:14, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Useless. No reason not to use {{Non-free use rationale}}. -FASTILY (TALK) 02:25, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Per the non-free use criteria, pages need specific fair use rationale for each use. The non-free use rationale needs to demonstrate the contextual significance (NFCC #8) of the non-free file. While a template may work to a degree for logos and album covers, it does not for software screenshots. Logos and album covers are used to assist the reader in identifying the subject. The generic Template:Non-free use rationale logo usually suffices in establishing contextual significance for logo usage. Software screenshot non-free use rationale need to be more elaborate, as the circumstances for each usage are different. Non-free use images should only be used in limited circumstances. There needs to be a strong and convincing non-free use rationale for each image use because the images are not free. This template's non-free use rationale is pitiful. No matter how this template is revised, it will be unable to create a generic rationale that could convincingly apply to a significant number of files.

"unlikely to be used, no foreseeable use"? commons:Template:UN map/en has almost 400 transclusions, and there are also files tagged with commons:Template:PD-UN that should really use it.
