Template:Paizo CUP/doc

{{Paizo CUP}} is a copyright template that helps PathfinderWiki remain compliant with Paizo's copyright policy for fan works, also known as the Community Use Policy (CUP).

Usage

{{Paizo CUP|ARGUMENT|url=}}

The first argument describes the type of CUP source from which the image is taken. It can be one of any of the following, and is optional but strongly recommended:

package

From a Community Use Package. Adds the Category:Community Use Package images category.

blog

From a Paizo Blog post. Adds the Category:Paizo Blog images category.

section2, store, or cover

A cover image from the Paizo store or paizo.com. Adds the Category:Paizo Store images category.

fiction

From Paizo Tales Web Fiction. Adds the Category:Pathfinder Tales Web Fiction images category.

section1 (deprecated)

A descriptive reference of locations or characters from Paizo material covered by the CUP. Older versions of the CUP listed allowed products in Section 1 of the policy, a practice discontinued in 2024, so this type is no longer required.

If the first argument is omitted, the template links to Paizo's Community Use policy and package pages. Regardless of the parameters, the template also adds the Category:Community Use Policy images category.

url (optional)

If you provide a first argument, you can target relevant links to the image's source page by also providing its URL in this parameter.

Examples

{{Paizo CUP}}

Using the template without any arguments produces a default template that links to Paizo's Community Use policy and package pages.

{{Paizo CUP|store}}

This produces a template that identifies the image's source as being an unmodified cover of a product listed in Section 1 or 2 of the CUP's allowed products lists as presented on paizo.com.

{{Paizo CUP|blog|url=https://paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo5ljxe}}

This template explains that the image is sourced from the Paizo Blog, and links to the blog post source.
