Usage
This template must be accompanied by the appropriate copyright tag. It often accompanies ((PD-US)).
|reason= is optional but is recommended for clarifying the reason as to why the work should not be moved to Commons. For the situation where a work of non-US origin is free content in the United States while being subject to copyright restrictions in its country of origin, the parameter can be given as |reason=US only to supply a standard explanation about the work being non-free in its country of origin.
|expiry= hides the message at the end of the given year. For example, if a work by an author who died in 1950 was first published in a country whose copyright term is life plus 70 years, use |expiry=2020, and the message would automatically disappear in 2021, when the image would be automatically placed into Category:Media now suitable for Commons.
Examples
((Do not move to Commons))- Always shows the template.
((Do not move to Commons|expiry=2020))- Shows the message until December 31, 2020, but hides it starting January 1, 2021.
((Do not move to Commons|reason=US only))- For situations where a work of non-US origin is free content in the United States but non-free or potentially non-free in its country of origin.
((Do not move to Commons|reason=GFDL only))- See c:Commons:Licensing#GNU Free Documentation License
