How to create License templates? edit

For the licenses you can create templates
Do as follows in this example:
  • 1. Create Template:Cc-by
  • 2. In the Template you paste the following:
(CC-BY) '''[https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Attribution]''': {{{1|{{color|red|Please provide attribution!}} }}}'''
;You are free to:
* '''Share''' – copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format.
* '''Adapt''' – remix, transform and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially.
:The licensor cannot revoke these freedoms as long as you follow the license terms.
;Under the following terms:
* '''Attribution''' – You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.<br />'''No additional restrictions''' — You may not apply legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits.
  • 3 In the Documentation you place the following code, so you don't forget how to use it:
    Use: {{LicenseBox|<text={{Cc-by}}|1=Name of author>}}
  • 4. When an image is uploaded, add the {{LicenseBox|<text={{Cc-by}}|1=Name of author>}} to the file page.
  • 5 Please provide the url to the place where the image was downloaded from if possible. For example: {{LicenseBox|<text={{Cc-by}}|1=Quimgil>}}
