{{Verbatim}} designates articles that contain verbatim reproduction of legally reproducible text. Such content is safe and free to reproduce in this manner, but PathfinderWiki encourages rewriting it to better fit the canon and provide more context when possible.

Usage

This template accepts up to four ordered parameters.

{{Verbatim|<LICENSE>|<SCOPE>|<DATE>|<CATEGORIES>}}

}}
  • <LICENSE> (required) provides the license that allows the text to be reproduced verbatim, such as the Open Game License (OGL), Community Use Policy (CUP), or Open RPG Creative License (ORC License).
  • <SCOPE> indicates the scope of the change, such as the article or a section. If omitted, it defaults to "article".
  • <DATE> indicates when the template was applied. Use five tildes (~~~~~) to insert the current date and time. Defaults to no date, which omits the relevant line.
