Copyrighted in the United States
 | This template uses Lua: |
Usage

e.g. on Author:Thorne Smith
Parameters

- Text to display instead of work link.
- author (optional)

Examples
[edit]Example 1
[edit]
* {{copyright-until|Topper|2022}}appears as:
- Topper — Copyrighted in the United States until 2022
In the year 2022, it will appear as:
Example 2
[edit]
* {{copyright-until|Topper|2022|pubyear=1926}}appears as:
- Topper (1926) — Copyrighted in the United States until 2022
In the year 2022, it will appear as:
- Topper (1926)
Note that because "Topper" has a Wikipedia entry, it can be linked to with:
* {{copyright-until|Topper|2022|wikipedia=Topper (books)}}
which appears as
- Topper — Copyrighted in the United States until 2022
Example 3 (no title parameter)
[edit]
* {{copyright until||until=2021}}This example doesn't have a title parameter, so the generated content starts at "Copyrighted in..."
- Copyrighted in the United States until 2021
After 2021, nothing will be shown, but the page will still be categorised as above.
Example 4 (extra data)
[edit]
* {{copyright until|Title|extra=film by Steven Spielberg|pubyear=1973|until=2021}}
- Title (film by Steven Spielberg, 1973)
This is useful when some versions of a work are still copyrighted but others aren't.
Example 5 (author)
[edit]
* {{copyright until|Title|author=Steven Spielberg|pubyear=1973|until=2021}}
- Title by Steven Spielberg (1973)
This is useful when the template is used on non-Author pages, such as portals and versions/translations pages.
Example 6 (display)
[edit]
* {{copyright until|Title (Spielberg)|display=Title|pubyear=1973|until=2021}}
- Title (1973)
* {{copyright until|Title (Austen)|display=Title|pubyear=1873|until=1921}}
- Title (1873)
This is useful for disambiguated pages.
