Usage

The license value inserted when a contributor picks "CC BY 4.0" from the Licensing dropdown on Special:Upload. Only use for original work the uploader created and is deliberately licensing under CC BY — not for game screenshots.

The outer notice uses the noexcerpt class so maintenance/editorial text is excluded from article excerpts and Page Previews.
