The Just Dance Wiki’s Image Policy states that all users should add a licensing template when uploading an image to the wiki. The licensing template can be selected from the drop-down menu on the upload page, the images page under "more options", or added to the file page afterwards. Here are the available licensing templates and some examples on what kinds of images they should be used on.
Note: The appropriate category is within the template. If you are adding a license to an image uploaded prior to the licensing policy, please remove the category when doing so. However, if the image belongs in multiple categories, only remove the one that is within the license template.
Fair use
{{Fairuse}}
With the exception of a few use cases that will be mentioned later on, all images you find are copyrighted and are used here under fair use. For any copyrighted images that do not fall into any of the below categories, use this template. Some examples of commonly uploaded images that don't fit into one of these categories include:
- Copyrighted off-topic images for use on your user page
- Copyrighted images of artists or performers
- Note: Most major artists have a non-copyrighted image on Wikipedia. Using these are preferred.
- Reference images that don't quite fit into any of the existing categories.
