Change Category:All non-free media to  – that is, add a sort key. That way, the images will be sorted by their file name, rather than the word "Image:", in the category -- 86.136.74.61 22:02, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Categorize template? 

message: 
Howdy, this template is in the All non-free media category, which is meant for non-free media, not GFDL templates.  There is some funny   business that moves it to the top of the category, but it seems more useful to leave information on the Category page itself, and include this in one of the template categories.  I suggest :Category:Non-free image copyright tags, but I am no expert.
The current code:

[[Category:All non-free media|<noinclude> </noinclude>{{PAGENAME}}]]<noinclude>
{{pp-template|small=yes}}
{{template doc}}
</noinclude>

Proposed code:

<includeonly>[[Category:All non-free media|{{PAGENAME}}]]</includeonly><noinclude>
{{pp-template|small=yes}}
{{template doc}}
[[Category:Non-free image copyright tags]]
</noinclude>

message: There is a proposal to add some metadata to this template. See Template talk:Non-free use rationale#Metadata flag for nonfree content for details. Looks uncontroversial to me. Regards — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:28, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Metadata 

message: I request the changes shown in Special:Diff/950217174 are made. Compare File:ChristopherStreetMagIssue1.jpg, where the "license" in the bottom right corner defaults to "View license" and the image is automatically added to :Category:Files with no machine-readable license, with File:InstitutleRosey.JPG, which correctly displays "Fair use" as the "license" and is not automatically added to :Category:Files with no machine-readable license. The only difference is that Template:Non-free logo (used by :File:InstitutleRosey.JPG) contains its own version of the machine readable license metadata, which would be the same as the license metadata in this template if the changes requested here were made, whereas Template:Non-free magazine cover (used by :File:ChristopherStreetMagIssue1.jpg) does not contain its own version of the license metadata.

replies: text: Not done for now: It's not really clear to me how the implementation in question helps this issue and it's not really clear to me what the issue actually is. Can you make a clear statement as to rationale, implementation choice, and any scripts you are using which are perhaps causing a difference in display for you? Izno (talk) 14:23, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  The issue is that MediaWiki cannot detect the licenses of some fair use files for some reason, this results in 26,000 files in :Category:Files with no machine-readable license. This is despite the fact that they have license templates transcluding  which should be emitting the license metadata. If you view any file in this category in media viewer, you will see that it displays "View license" in the bottom right corner, when it should say "Fair use", this is because MediaWiki cannot detect the license. I've experimented, and I think the issue is that the file metadata is not being emitted proprely when  is placed at the bottom of the template, rather when you place it in the text parameter of , it works. To reproduce, go to :File:Image page sandbox.png, replace  with , see that it says "View license" in the bottom right corner of media viewer and has :Category:Files with no machine-readable license, than replace with  and see that it correctly displays "Fair use" in the corner without :Category:Files with no machine-readable license. Also just compare the categories here and here. The only difference is that  is in the text parameter of . Dylsss(talk contribs) 04:44, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
