Non-free content/mai
This page examines the status of non-free content (like fair use) on Wikimedia Projects. Note that the Wikimedia licensing policy requires that any project allowing non-free content implement an Exemption Doctrine Policy.
Exemption Doctrine Policy
An Exemption Doctrine Policy (EDP) is required by the Wikimedia licensing policy for any Wikimedia project that hosts non-free content.
Some EDPs are listed at the Wikidata item: Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria (Q4391089).
A manually maintained list exists below.
Note that, regardless of policy, some Wikimedia projects have zero local media files, and therefore have no non-free content. If the situation is permanent (e.g. because local upload was disabled), the policy may be superseded.
Lists of exemption doctrine policies and other information by Wikimedia project
Description of fields
- Language code: the Wikimedia language code, followed by a colon for easier searching
- Local uploads: either yes/no, or names of user groups (i.e. only available if you have one of the corresponding permissions).
- Please note: being "yes" doesn't mean you can just start local uploading right now, being autoconfirmed users on each wikis are the minimum requirement for uploading functions (except Commons, but non-free contents are not allowed).
Wikipedia
- To reduce page size, projects listed at List of Wikipedias having zero local media files are only listed if they have an EDP.
- For actual usage of files and policy enforcement see Non-free content/taking stock#Wikipedia.

The copyright tag does not mention this clearly (to avoid complaints). Therefore, Bild-LogoSH is not a fair use but a public domain tag. If the date of death of the creator is unknown, images are allowed if they are old enough. Some of these images can be non-free. These images are marked with Bild-PD-alt-100 or Bild-PD-alt-1923. |
