As part of the project to upgrade the copyright license used by en.wn, pages that mention the specific license version will need to be updated. To make the process easier in the future, we are trying to consolidate the places where we mention the specific version used. We are doing this in part by using {{Current CC Version}}, as discussed here.
Below is the edit we need:
The change we are implementing now involves replacing any occurrences of the following text:
[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/ Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 license]..with {{Current CC Version}}, which will transclude our current version.
The template currently renders the following; Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. Therefore this change can be implemented now.
Once we are ready to do the license upgrade, we can then change the text in that template to reflect the current version and that will in-turn update all pages that include {{Current CC Version}}.
In addition to this page, we have a list of edit-protected pages that need to be changed. It can be found here: Wikinews_talk:Copyright#Pages_to_update_when_license_is_updated_from_2.5_to_4.0
You can see the full discussion about the upgrade here: Wikinews:Water_cooler/policy#Conclusion_and_implementation_of_upgrade_to_cc-by-4.0
We would like to have these changes in place before August 1, which is our tentative cut-over date.
Thanks in advance!

Done
Question This page will need to be updated again as stating "this stuff after 2005 is under CC 4" will be wrong. Please prepare the new text for it now, or advise me of your interpretation.- cc @Michael.C.Wright @Leaderboard @MGA73

- Because we no longer produce Print Edition we decided no change was necessary to this template. I failed to update the edit request once we decided that (but the table was updated). My apologies. I will update the verbiage in the template here. —Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Published) 15:21, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- Why don't we make print edition now?
- Where is updated verbiage? Gryllida (talk) 22:53, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- My understanding is the process for generating the Print Edition was convoluted and utilized outdated methods. There is some history here and here.
- I believe the last time we produced one was 2019, but I could be wrong. —Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Published) 23:55, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- How does Wikipedia or Wikibooks etc do it? Gryllida (talk) 00:13, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Gryllida Articles on Wikipedia are edited non-stop so it is not possible to “freeze them” and make a statement like “this is licenses 3.0” for example. Because all new edits are 4.0. So Wikipedia only mention license in the footer and leave it up to the user to find out the exact license for a specific article and text part. Wikinews articles are not edited after they are published so they could and should be more specific. Wikibooks is more of a mix of text in the footer and individual templates that are randomly placed. Recently I have tried to clean up a bit in German Wikibooks but that’s another story. --MGA73 (talk) 05:23, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

- Regarding the updated verbiage, it's already in place with this diff. —Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Published) 23:57, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
