Template:PD-old/doc

This template categorises Author namespace pages into Category:Author-PD-old and all other pages into Category:PD-old.

Usage

{{PD-old}}

This template is to be used when the author has died more than 100 years previously, and it adds pages to Category:PD-old or Category:Author-PD-old.

Please also use Template:PD-posthumous to tag posthumous works. Please use {{Pd/1996|year of author's death}} to tag posthumous works published outside the USA since 1929 while they may be copyrighted in the USA and certain other countries and areas based on how long they have been published, even if the authors died more than 100 years ago.

Use the following templates to create dynamic copyright messaging that will update as time passes and stay accurate when the author's death year (ADY) is known. Direction for including ADY is in each template document.
