== Template:Fair-dealing ==
License tag for the Vault's narrow, deliberate use of UK fair dealing — as distinct from every other license tag on the Vault, which cover material the uploader has a positive right to use. This one covers material the Vault has '''no rights to at all''', used only because a specific, narrow legal exception applies.

Do not apply this template, or upload a file expecting to use it, without first reading [[The Vault @ The EERIE Files:Copyrights#Fair dealing: when and how|the Copyrights policy's fair dealing section]] in full. That page sets out what does and doesn't qualify — this template only records the rationale once you've already established it qualifies; it doesn't decide that for you.

=== Usage ===
<pre>
{{Fair-dealing
|purpose=Criticism/review — illustrating discussion of this specific book's cover design and reception
|source=Publisher Name, [[Book Title]] (Year)
|used_in=[[Article Name]]
|necessity=The article discusses the cover's imagery directly; describing it in words alone would not let readers follow the discussion
|minimal_use=Low-resolution thumbnail (under 300px), not the full-resolution publisher scan
}}
</pre>

=== Parameters ===
All five parameters are required. A rationale missing any of them is incomplete, and the file should not remain uploaded until it's filled in properly.

* '''purpose''' — which of the Copyrights policy's permitted fair dealing purposes this falls under (book cover / film still / text excerpt), and why
* '''source''' — who actually holds the copyright (publisher, studio, photographer) — required even though you don't have their permission, since attribution is part of what makes a use "fair"
* '''used_in''' — the specific article(s) where the subject of the image is actually discussed. A fair dealing image with no matching discussion anywhere is decoration, not fair dealing, and should be removed
* '''necessity''' — a short explanation of why words or a link genuinely aren't enough here
* '''minimal_use''' — confirmation of what makes this the smallest reasonable use (resolution, cropping, single frame vs. sequence, etc.)

=== If you're not sure this applies ===
Don't guess. Post on the file's talk page or ask before uploading — an incomplete or borderline rationale is worse than no image at all, since it puts the whole Vault at risk rather than just one page.
