My own works
If you made an icons, or any other file yourself, you can upload it without any attribution / template. Files uploaded to the FreePCB wiki enter public domain however, if you don't want your art to enter public domain, please Write the following:
This file was made by [YOUR NAME] and is, unlike other files made by FreePCB users, not in the public domain. Please use the [LINK TO THE LICENSE NAME OF THE LICENSE] license when reusing this file elsewhere.
Dispite some claims, even if your icons uses the 23x23 Polcompball template, you must not attribute your usage of as it does not meet the originality criteria for copyright eligibility.
Polcompball and Polcompball Anarchy
Most wikis, including all ball wikis, the most relevant for us being PCB and PCBA, operate under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license, as can be seen on the bottom of all these wiki's pages.
If you're uploading a file from the Polcompball or Polcompball anarchy wikis please use the following template:
{{Attribution-BY1

|[LINK]
}}
Polandball
Don't reupload Polandball icons, they look like shit and follow a different format.
Wikipedia / Wikimedia Commons
If you're uploading a file from Wikimedia Commons (or Wikipedia) to the wiki, please first check the 'Licenses' section of the file description page. If it says that it's 'Fair use' or copyrighted, you CANNOT upload the file to the FreePCB wiki. If it says something you don't unterstand, ask the mods.
If the license says anything else however, usually GNU or CC BY-something, you're fine. Just follow the instructions on the image and copy the marked text when uploading the file to FreePCB. It should then looks something like this:
Agnes Monkelbaan, CC BY-SA 4.0 <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0>, via Wikimedia Commons
If what you copied looks very different, please ask a mod before uploading.
Unsplash
If you want to use a free stock photo from the website unsplash.com, check that the file actually uses the 'Unsplash License' (which 99% of files do). If it does, you don't have to attribute anything as it complies with our project. You can still link the Unsplash license or write the Author's name in the file description if you want, but that's not necccsiarly.
OpenStreetMap Screenshots
OpenStreetmMap screenshots must follow the OSM's Open Data Commons Open Database License, that means writing the following text when uploading a screenshot:
