This template is optimized for video game screenshot used in the article about the video game. It may or may not work in other contexts. For example, this non-free use rationale may not be appropriate for images of magazines, comic books, series, collections, or alternate editions.

As a screenshot, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the item in question would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.

Please use copyrighted content responsibly and in accordance with
Knowledge policy. A template alone does not make the video game screenshot or promotional image fair to use. It merely helps you state why you think it is appropriate.
