Template:PD-signature/doc

Parameter
The template takes one mandatory parameter, which is the name of the source country (the country of first publication, if known, or as a fallback the individual's country of nationality) so that a judgement can be made as the minimum level of originality required under local law. If the parameter is omitted, or if the signature is arguably complex/creative enough to attract copyright, then the image cannot be assumed free and must be deleted under the precautionary principle.
