Error?[edit]

Something seems to have been broken …

  • {{Pd/1996|1944}} gives
Public domain

The author died in 1944, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 75 years or fewer.



For background information, see the explanations on Non-U.S. copyrights.
Note: in addition to this statement, there must be a statement on this page explaining why the work was PD on the URAA date in its source country. Additionally, there must be verifiable information about previous publications of the work.

"The author died in $country"[edit]

Hi,

{{PD-old-auto-1996|country=France|deathyear=1926}} results in The author died in France, so this work is also in the public domain in countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 80 years or less. Shouldn't that be "The author died in 1926 […]"? --El Grafo (talk) 21:14, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Category suppression[edit]

I added an example to PD-old-auto-1996 at Template:PD-old-auto-1996/doc, but it resulted in the doc page appearing at Category:PD-old-75-1996. It looks like {{PD-old-X-1996}} already supports category suppression, the problem is that PD-old-auto-1996 just isn't passing along the hidden category parameter. I'm going to modify this template to address the issue. —RP88 21:40, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That appears to have worked (also zapped the two embedded uses above as well).RP88 21:48, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No, that was less successful than I thought. Implementing pass-though category suppression needs a technique like the ones at en:Wikipedia:Category suppression. I'm thinking about adding support for "nocat". —RP88 22:03, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I restricted the categories only to files. --Jarekt (talk) 13:54, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ambiguous: "Source country" of the work? Meaning the creative work OR the uploaded file?[edit]

The sentence part „or before the source country established copyright relations with the United States or before the source country established copyright relations with the United States” speaks of the “source country”, but shouldn't it speak of the “country of first publication”? Since this template opens with: “This work...”, the text should relate to the work, not the uploaded file. And copyright laws and treaties speak of “country of first publication”. Unless “the work” only relates to the uploaded file, in which case the template text has an entirely wrong formulation. The template text should clearly differentiate in the use and meaning of the words “work” and “file”, within the scope of this template. And it should consider where and in what context the template is being used. On Commons “source” (at the file description) would normally apply to the “the source of the file being uploaded”. If the template only refers to the uploaded file, then “This uploaded work...” would be a better wording. But that would conflict with the entire template text, which is referring to laws and treaties. Those use the wording “the work” exclusively in relation to the authors rights. --oSeveno (talk) 13:14, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Translation (of untranslated sentence) for the Dutch (Netherlands) language[edit]

English:

  • it was first published before 1 March 1989 without copyright notice or before 1964 without copyright renewal or before the source country established copyright relations with the United States,

Dutch (Netherlands):

  • het werd voor het eerst gepubliceerd vóór 1 maart 1989 zonder vermelding van auteursrechten of vóór 1964 zonder vernieuwing van auteursrechten of vóórdat het land van oorsprong auteursrechtelijke banden is gaan onderhouden met de Verenigde Staten,
