Template talk:PD-Art-100
This is the discussion/talk page for: Template:PD-Art-100.
Created
[edit]The licensing Template:PD-Art-100 was created on 7 April 2009 by long-term user Wikid77 (me) to promote use of the broadest licensing for very-old 2-dimensional art. For countries that don't allow the 70-year or 80-year limits, it is important to identify artwork available from the 100-year limit. Creating a separate, intuitive name "PD-Art-100" helps users to quickly tag the very-old art, rather than use "PD-Art" just because the template name was so easy to use. -Wikid77 (talk) 14:46, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
Redirections here
[edit]The following are redirection titles that access this template:
In general, any common, intuitive spellings should be redirected, to reduce confusion and frustration in uploading files. A precedent in varied spellings has already been started, with "PD-OLD" and "PD-old-100" so it would be utterly bizarre to allow "PD-old" but reject "PD-art". Avoid any artificial, non-intuitive restrictions that make stuff seem "wiki-spastic" because the wiki-world is peculiar enough as a self-obsessed sub-culture. It should avoid subsetting reality, and avoid subsetting itself in twisted restrictions that apply in one instance but not another. -Wikid77 (talk) 15:03, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
Possible template PD-Art-80
[edit]Depending on the amount of artwork within the 80-year limit, it might also be helpful to create a template named "PD-Art-80" to further promote the longest, broadest license for the more recent, popular artwork. Many users seem to want to use more 20th-century artwork, and again, facilitating the broadest, most-lenient licensing tags will probably save thousands of hours, long-term, in worrying about copyright restrictions, for each 10-year increment. -Wikid77 (talk) 15:03, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
Redirect to template:PD-art-100-expired?
[edit]This template says that someone died more than 100 years ago. I wonder if we should just redirect it to Template:PD-art-100-expired. Multichill (talk) 11:46, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
