ਫਰਮਾ:Non-free use rationale video game cover
| Description |
This is the cover art for {{{Article}}}. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the distributor of the game or the publisher of the video game or the developers of the video game. |
|---|---|
| Source |
The box/cover art can or could be obtained from the distributor. |
| Article |
[[{{{Article}}}]] |
| Portion used |
The entire cover: because the image is cover art, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image. |
| Low resolution? |
The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork. |
| Purpose of use |
Choose from: Infobox / Header / Section / Other |
| Replaceable? |
As cover art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the item in question would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. |
| Other information |
Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. |

This template is to help users write non-free use rationales for video game box or cover art as required by WP:NFC and WP:NFURG. Include this in the image file, once for each time you insert images of video game cover art into an article.
Please use copyrighted content responsibly and in accordance with Wikipedia policy. A template alone does not make the video game box or cover art fair to use. It merely helps you state why you think it is appropriate.
This template is optimized for video game cover art used in the article about the video game. It may or may not work in other contexts. For example, this non-free use rationale may not be appropriate for images of magazines, comic books, series, collections, or alternate editions.
Before saving, try the "preview" feature to review the text produced by this template. Be sure the language is true and complete. If not, consider using the override fields, a different template, or a hand-written justification.
