	{{generic project link| project=Gameinfo| image=fair-use-gameinfo-logo.png| text=[[Gameinfo:Main Page|Gameinfo]] has a category for:| link=[[Gameinfo:Category:Battle for Wesnoth|]]}}

This template provides a box which floats to the right, as shown here. It can substitute for the specific project link when the specific template is unavailable. In this example, we use the template to reach a category at Gameinfo.

Origin:

• Gameinfo:Template:wikipedia -> {{wikipedia}} -> {{generic project link}}

Specific project link

What appears	What you type
	{{wikipedia}}
	{{wikipedia2|Mythology and fiction in NetHack}}

	{{gameinfo}}
	{{gameinfo2|NetHack}}
	{{novelas}}
	{{novelas2|NetHack/Nutter}}

As shown here, these boxes float to the right.

Here are links to each template:

• {{wikipedia}}, {{wikibooks}}, {{gameinfo}}, {{novelas}}
• {{wikipedia2}}, {{wikibooks2}}, {{gameinfo2}}, {{novelas2}}

The templates currently use {{generic project link}} to implement themselves.

Licensing

What appears	What you type
Some or all of the information on this page was taken from https://alt.org/nethack/rodney-learn.php with the permission of the contributor. A list of people who gave such permission is at Contributors to Rodney donating to the Wiki.	{{rodney}} at articles
The NetHack General Public License applies to screenshots, source code and other content from NetHack. This content was modified from the original NetHack source code distribution (by splitting up NetHack content between wiki pages, and possibly further editing). See the page history for a list of who changed it, and on what dates.	{{NGPL}} at articles and images
This work is copyrighted. The individual who uploaded this work and first used it in an article, as well as subsequent persons who place it into articles, asserts that this qualifies as fair use of the material under United States copyright law.	{{fairuse}} at images

Origin:

• Wikibooks:Template:fairuse -> {{fairuse}}
• {{fairuse}} -> {{rodney}}
• {{fairuse}} -> {{NGPL}}

These tags indicate some copyright external to the copyright of this wiki. There are two reasons to do this:

• It is proposed that all images have tags showing their copyright status. This is similar to what Wikimedia Commons does.
• Articles derived from Rodney use the {{rodney}} tag, while articles annotating NetHack source code use the {{NGPL}} tag (for the source code, not the annotations).

Some images can use {{fairuse}}, but this should always be avoided except when needed, for example for the Wikipedia logo. In most cases, fair use such as simply making a quote ("The newt bites! You die...") or giving game statistics (like when using {{monster}}) does not require a template.
