Forcing line breaks

Catherine - that fixed it. I was reluctant to put HTML in there to fix it, but that did the job :) RenesisX 04:34, Dec 5, 2004 (UTC)

Good -- that one's generally allowed. Use sparingly, but s'often useful when you have a picture that's causing awkward formatting on a page; can push a section header or a table down below the bottom of a picture. [[User:CatherineMunro|Catherine\^talk]] 04:55, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Necessary?

It seems to me that this template is subsumed by Template:PD-user, which is more informative. Are there any good arguments for a continued need for the present template? --MarkSweep 00:45, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I'm certainly willing to be swayed by arguments for combining them; as you say, the distinction is not great. The other can be used by anyone tagging submissions, even if they were not the creator themselves, so long as they have evidence that the creator did want the submission to be public domain. This one can only be used by Users who are also creators, who are tagging their own images. I do think there may be some small advantage in separating the two, as far as breaking down into categories the workload of those who may be checking the validity of image copyright tags in the future.

Not committed to preserving this one, which was created to fill a hole in existing PD tags -- I don't see any problem with using PD-user (which was created a month later) instead -- just adding my two cents. [[User:CatherineMunro|Catherine\^talk]] 03:52, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
