Template talk:Non-free media rationale

Bug

The rationale used in Image:Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! coverart.JPG breaks the header of this template because of a link to Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 08:06, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Interesting, it is fine with one exclamation point but does not like two or three. The parent of this template, {{Non-free use rationale}}, does it too; I will look into the issue. In the meantime, the backlink category is being implemented properly, so it seems like a cosmetic issue that isn't hurting anyone for the moment. — TAnthony^Talk 05:04, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Replacement?

I've noticed what may be a slight issue with this template. When completing the form, the field asks for "Replaceability", to which the correct or logical answer would be "None" , as in "The amount of replaceability that this image has is None". However, when the template appears on the image page, it reads as "Replaceable?", for which the correct answer would be "No", as in "No, this image is not replaceable". It's a minor thing, but could we rename the text that the template shows to read as "Replaceability", so that it matches the other fields (i.e. no question mark)? I can make the change, but wanted to get feedback before doing so. Thanks! UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 14:09, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

This template was created from {{Non-free use rationale}}, which has been much-debated and tweaked. I'm not sure why the parameter is set up that way, but I would open up this question to the group of editors there and see what you get. I have a feeling there is a very specific reason it is the way it is. And by the way, it's not supposed to be a one-word answer, you're supposed to explain why it's not replaceable, like "Copyrighted TV series and characters, no free images exist." — TAnthony^Talk 17:13, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Name versus output

This template and the accompanying {{Non-free image data}} have "image" in their names but produce the message "Non-free media use rationale" and "Non-free media use data" respectively. Consistency in title and output would help make using them less confusing. I'm going to copy this comment to that template's talk page so it gets seen, please comment there. — Hex (❝?!❞) 08:10, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
