For copyrighted images to be used on Wikipedia in accordance with the non-free use policy, they must meet &amp;#039;&amp;#039;all&amp;#039;&amp;#039; ten requirements of the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria]]. This template and others like it allow for a standardized way of providing this information. This template is an alternate to the {{tl|Non-free use rationale}} template.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;This template is designed to be used in conjunction with {{tl|Non-free media data}}.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; On every non-free image&amp;#039;s description page, each article which uses that image must be noted, and given its own non-free use rationale. The {{tl|Non-free use rationale}} template is too cumbersome for images used in multiple articles; in those instances, that template has to be duplicated in its entirety for each use. This template allows for the display of all necessary information without unnecessary redundancies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Usage ==&lt;br /&gt;
Copy the following code and paste onto the appropriate image description page. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though the {{tl|Non-free media data}} template need only be used once per image, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a {{tl|Non-free media rationale}} template and its parameters must be used for &amp;#039;&amp;#039;each&amp;#039;&amp;#039; article in which the image is used.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that each image must also be tagged with an [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free|image copyright tag]].&lt;br /&gt;

|- &lt;br /&gt;
| &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Source&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;

| &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Portion&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| How much copyrighted material is used; the amount used must not make the work as a whole less valuable to the copyright holder.&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
| &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Low resolution&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| Images must generally be of low resolution, just high enough to demonstrate what is being shown. Images that require high resolutions of near-commercial grade quality should have that reasoning justified here.&lt;br /&gt;

| &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Other information&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &lt;br /&gt;
