Plot descriptions cannot be copied from other sources, including official sources, unless these can be verified to be public domain or licensed compatibly with Wikipedia. They must be written in original language to comply with Wikipedia's copyright policy. In addition, they should only briefly summarize the plot; detailed plot descriptions may constitute a derivative work. See Wikipedia's Copyright FAQ. |
Usage
This template is for talk pages of articles on films, books or television episodes where copyright-infringing plot summaries have been a concern. It is transcluded to the talk page, not the article, by adding {{Copyvio plot}}.
