• {{Standard test}}—for standard test images ubiquitous in the image processing literature

Deprecated

• {{Restricted use}} (and redirects {{Fairuse}}, {{Fair use}} and others)—formerly used for copyrighted images and audio samples which are contended to be fair use. Replace this tag either with {{Fair use in|Article}} or with another of the tags above.
• {{PermissionAndFairUse}}—formerly used for media for which we have permission, and US fair use also applies. You should also describe as much as possible about the permission including who from and conditions. Replace this tag with either {{Fair use in|Article}} or with another of the tags above, and also add {{Withpermission}}.
• {{Fairuseunsure}} (and redirect {{Fairold}})—formerly used with images which might possibly be in the public domain, either due to age or for some other reason, but the copyright status cannot be conclusively determined. The copyright status of the image should be thoroughly investigated, and either tagged as public domain if it is in the public domain, or as {{Fair use in|Article}} or with another tag above.

Unfree images

These tags are used to mark images that are deprecated, and which will eventually be deleted.

On September 20, 2004, Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images began accepting listings for images used in Wikipedia that either do not have a license or are currently listed with a non-free license. In mid 2005 however images lacking source and/or license information became a criterion for speedy deletion, and subsequently the PUI process was amended to deal with cases of disputed copyright status and non-free images instead.

The following tags are for use on such images. Though these images are unwanted, they should not be deleted immediately but proceed to be slowly and respectfully weeded out.

• {{PUIdisputed}} — used for images where the stated copyright status is disputed. If the status can not be resolved the image is usually deleted after being listed for 14 days.
• {{PUInonfree}} — used for images with a noted non-free license. If an alternative license is not found, these images will be deleted after 14 days.

In both cases {{idw-pui|Image:ImageName.jpg}} should be added to the uploaders talk page, {{unverifiedimage}} should be put into the caption of the image where it is used, and the image should then be listed on the Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images page so the image can be properly processed.
