Use the following templates to tag images which are not eligible for copyright protection:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! colspan=2 | General<br />
|-<br />
| {{tl|PD-ineligible}} || Use when there are no better options. This is a very general that just says the image fails to pass the [[threshold of originality]] and does not qualify for copyright protection.<br />
|-<br />
| {{tl|PD-ineligible-USonly}} || Same as above, except when the image is believed to be below the threshold of originality in the United States but not its home country.<br />
|-<br />
! colspan=2 | More specialized<br />
|-<br />
| {{tl|PD-simple}} || Use when:<br />
# The image only consists of typefaces, individual words, slogans, or simple geometric shapes.<br />
# It '''is not''' a logo.<br />
Don't be deceived by its name!<br />
|-<br />
| {{tl|PD-textlogo}} || Use when:<br />
# The image only consists of typefaces, individual words, slogans, or simple geometric shapes.<br />
# It '''is''' a logo.<br />
Use {{tl|Trademark}} along with it, when applicable.<br />
|-<br />
! colspan=2 | Very specialized<br />
|-<br />
| {{tl|PD-shape}} || Use only when the image is a single geometric shape.<br />
|-<br />
| {{tl|PD-chem}} || Use only on raster images showing a [[structural formula]] of a chemical compound.<br />
|-<br />
| {{tl|PD-music-ineligible}} || For depiction of musical concepts or techniques, such as simple note sheets. The musical sound generated must not be eligible for copyright.<br />
