Template:No-date

This media has no publication date, creation date or author lifetime, indicated, making it more difficult to determine if the copyright or other information presented is appropriate.
An experienced editor should contact the uploader, determine an appropriate date and assist the uploader in expanding the information presented. The issue may also be discussed on the talk page.

Usage

Add this tag (do not subst) immediately above any licensing information, or in the date field of an {{information}} block. You may optionally specify a reason as the first parameter. Do not replace or remove any copyright or licensing information already present.

This template is meant to be used when an image is undated making it harder to check if the information(especially those about copryights) presented in the image description is incorrect or misleading, to prompt discussion or review by other contributors. If an image has blatantly false licensing information, such as a screenshot of a recent film tagged as public domain, use one of the templates below.

Use this template if:

• The media is undated, preventing confirmation of its copyright status.
• An image date would assist other contributors in locating the image in other sources.

Do not use this template if:

• There is no source information at all. Use {{subst:nsd}}.
• There is no licensing information at all. Use {{subst:nld}}.
• There is a license claimed but it does not appear to be a valid claim. Use {{subst:npd|source=quoted source}}.
• The image is a blatant copyright infringement and meets speedy deletion criterion I9. Use {{db-i9}}.
• The image is possibly non-free as described at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images.

Images tagged with this template are placed in Category:Wikipedia files with no date.
