== Mention the Commons? ==
''Images marked with this text are candidates to be moved to the '''[[commons:|Wikimedia Commons]]''' - a shared holding of content for all Wikimedia projects.''

I'd like to suggest adding the above text, or a variant, to this template. -- [[User:Netoholic|Netoholic]] [[User talk:Netoholic|@]] 20:59, 2004 Nov 24 (UTC)

:<s>I agree.</s> - [[User:Omegatron|Omegatron]] 18:27, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)

:: This template tells visitors interested in an image about its copyright status. We shouldn't bother them with our editing chores. Now, if you wanted to start a project based on [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Template_talk%3APD what links here], that would be an intirely different matter.

:::I agree. - [[User:Omegatron|Omegatron]] 19:13, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)

It dissappoints me that the dialog died here, with no possible solutions. I'm going to take this to [[WP:BOTREQ|bot requests]] to see if a bot will come along to tag images tagged with this and related templates with {{tl|Move to Commons}}. --'''[[User:Reaper_X|<span style="color:#000000;"> Reaper</span>]] [[User talk:Reaper_X|<span style="color:#ff0000;"> X</span>]]''' 08:29, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

==Category==
What about adding this category [[:Category:PD tag needs updating]]? --[[User:evrik|evrik]]&nbsp;<sup>([[User talk:evrik|talk]])</sup> 21:31, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

== Free media ==

{{tl|editprotected}}

Please have this transclude {{tl|free media}} (yes it's deprecated, but the purpose of this template is to allow bots to notice a contradiction between free and non-free tags on an image). --[[User Talk:Random832|Random832]] 01:01, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Please, add <code><code></code><nowiki><includeonly>[[Category:PD tag needs updating|{{PAGENAME}}]]</includeonly></nowiki></code> for helping us in updating this template..--[[User:OsamaK|OsamaK]] 09:38, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

== Edit request ==
{{tlx|editprotected}}
Request the following be added at the end of the template:
<br /><br />
<nowiki>
<br /><br />''If an image was uploaded with this template after '''[[1 May]] [[2008]]''', it should be tagged with {{[[:template:no license|subst:nld]]}}.  If the copyright status of images tagged with this template and uploaded cannot be confirmed as free, they should be [[Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion|listed for deletion]].''
</nowiki>
<br /><br />
This will prevent further new images with this deprecated license template being added while existing images are cleaned up. [[User:Kelly|<span style="color:#060;font-family:Monotype Corsiva;cursor:help">'''Kelly'''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Kelly|hi!]]</sup> 01:14, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

: I would suggest that this requested edit be put on hold at least until editors are aware of it and can discuss it. --[[User talk:Iamunknown|Iamunknown]] 03:39, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
:I would agree to this change, because tagging it with this is like tagging it with a disambiguation page, which leaves others guessing at to what kind of public domain image it is, or if it is public domain at all. This would at least discourage the laziness to some extent. — [[User:Kaiba|<span style="color: #191970;"><span style="font-size: medium;">'''Κ'''</span>aiba</span>]] 08:16, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
:I'm absolutely not suggesting a mass delete of old images with this tag - only preventing new ones from being added. [[User:Kelly|<span style="color:#060;font-family:Monotype Corsiva;cursor:help">'''Kelly'''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Kelly|hi!]]</sup> 11:49, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

== Add iw ==

Please add interwiki <pre>[[pap:Template:DP]]</pre>. Thanks. --Sevela.p 15:19, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

:I did that, and made a doc page so that more can be added without admin help. &mdash;&nbsp;Carl <small>([[User:CBM|CBM]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:CBM|talk]])</small> 15:53, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

== Deprecated - why? ==

Was there a discussion and consensus before this was deprecated? If so, where? ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3APD&diff=34522915&oldid=33610253 Edit that deprecated it]].) --[[User:Elvey|Elvey]] ([[User talk:Elvey|talk]]) 23:36, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
:Yes and where are the suggestions about what to use instead? We need much more explanation otherwise very few will be able to fix this. [[User:Graeme Bartlett|Graeme Bartlett]] ([[User talk:Graeme Bartlett|talk]]) 03:26, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

== Public Court Records ==

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags/Public_domain has no entry for such records.  I believe all court filings are public records, and therefore public domain (for example, all the court filings posted on thesmokinggun.com, or Scientology documents filed in court and subsequently widely disseminated, with the court record being used as justification for publishing an otherwise secret document).  Evidence: "the public record of any court case [is] in the public domain" according to [[public domain]], with a [http://www.baconsrebellion.com/Issues04/08-09/Dale.htm citation].  Perhaps we need a ''pd-court'' tag with the explanation in quotes above.--[[User:Elvey|Elvey]] ([[User talk:Elvey|talk]]) 23:36, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

== Request ==
{{tlx|editprotected}}
The depreciation message should probably mention [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Public domain]], since many of these are probably things that are PD, but just need a more specific tag, which the current wording doesn't make obvious where to find.
