Template:Free-content attribution

This template should be placed in the References section of an article if the article incorporates text from a source that is protected by a free content license and there is no source-specific template listed in Category:Attribution templates.

This template takes one required parameter and up to two optional parameters:

{{Free-content attribution
|title=  <!-- The title of the work -->
|author = <!-- The author of the work -->
|publisher = <!-- The publisher of the work -->
|source=  <!-- The source of the work if not from the publisher or the author -->
|documentURL= <!-- The URL of the work -->
|license statement URL= <!-- The URL of the license statement of the work if not included within the document -->
|license= <!-- The license of the work -->
|howto= <!-- Only necessary if the template is used multiple times on the same page. Any value here will hide the last two sentences about instructions. -->
|this= <!-- Only necessary if the template is appended to an already existing reference, hiding the text about the source. Accepts "yes" -->
}}
