template:HowToUseGFDLCredits  

Use of this template on another page will display the text between the lines on that page. This MUST be included in the Usage section of any Credit template for a site that is published under the GFDL.


The site referenced above is published under the GFDL. All contributors who use information from other GFDL-published fansites are encouraged to read the GFDL, paying special attention to sections 2, 4 and 5.

Under section 4, subsection J, we must "Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission."

This means that we must have a subsection heading, at the bottom of the document, such as ==History== and that we must place accreditation information (templated or otherwise) under that section. If the source document also has a History section, you must add that to the History section on our article.

Additionally, you CANNOT leave the pagename field blank when using a GFDL-Credit template, and the template should display an error box if you do.

If our article uses footnotes, please put the <references> tag below the History section.
