This template can be used to easily add license data to Wikipedia screenshots taken using the Mozilla Firefox browser that do not contain the Firefox logo (which is not allowed on Commons except possibly in some situations). It was made to simplify the licensing of Wikipedia screenshots taken with Mozilla Firefox. Normally, these require two licensing tags; this template organizes them and reduces the number of tags to one.

Usage: {{FirefoxWiki|logo=}}
Parameters:
|logo=Yes/No -- Specify yes, if the screenshot contains any Wikimedia logos
