New page{{en|Files which might be lacking a license, flagged by CatScan2 tool as not transcluding {{tl|License template tag}} template. Usually images and us in this category because:
#They originally had a valid license, but lost it due to vandalism or some editor's mistake. In this case original license should be restored.
#License template is imbedded in {{tl|Information}}, or similar template, which is not displayed properly because of {{}} bracket imbalance. In this case please fix wikicode.
#The license template was never added to the image. In this case, one should either add a license if possible (there is OTRS ticket, license is described but no template added, license can be deduced based on other metadata, etc.) or the image should be tagged with {{tl|no license}} template. Some images that never had a license were copied from one of the wikipedias, but a matching license was not identified.
#Image is using some exotic rarely-seen license which is not written following standards of most license templates. More specifically its layout is not defined by one of the standard [[:Category:Style formatting templates|style formatting templates]]. Please list such templates in the talk page of this category.
#Of not reason whatsoever. Occasionally we have "false positives" detections, and files with standard valid license are tagged.
'''Once you fix a license in a file, please remove it from this category.''' }}
