To normalize how art usage permission and license information appear in the {{artist}} infobox template, we make use of this helper template. It defines a few specific license names (listed below), and translate each one of them into predetermined text.

  • all: Use this when the Coppermind has full permission to use all of the artist's work (related to Brandon Sanderson), past and future alike.
    • all|until=DATE: If the Coppermind has permission to only use artwork uploaded prior to a certain date, append the |until= parameter; the value of DATE will be added to the infobox as is. The date is converted into the MMM DD, YYY (e.g. Dec 31, 2020) format.
  • some: Use this when the Coppermind has permission to only specific artworks or when new uploads require explicit permission by the artist.
  • none: Use this when the Coppermind does not have permission to use any of the artist's works.
  • DATE: If the value is neither one of these, the template assumes it has been handed a cutoff date, with artworks before it being allowed on the Coppermind, and ones after it requiring an explicit permission. This is essentially a mix between all (up until the date) and some (after the date).
