I think it may be a good idea to change the entire code to what appears below.
Note, the code may look like one giant line here, but it appears organized when you view the source.

The reason...it's possibly redundant for some users to find "Please provide a rationale" when one is already provided.

On the Wikipedia:Template messages/File namespace#Non-free images page, about half way down that section, after the row with {{ Non-free logo}} in it, the rows in the table are appearing to be broken. I asked at WP:VPT#Tlrow template not working, and they referred me to here to request someone to fix this template, as the coding problem is way beyond my expertise. Thanks, -- Funandtrvl ( talk) 19:31, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
|below=
parameter of the {{

tags. That is, alter this line|below=<hr/>'''To the uploader:'''
|below=<div><hr/>'''To the uploader:'''
* A detailed ... may not necessarily apply.
</div>
</div>
must be on a line of its own. That should fix the table-breaking problem, but probably not the null-category one. --

I have seen places where this template is used, along with a fair use rationale including text such as "It is a low resolution image, and thus not suitable for production of counterfeit goods." followed by {{SVG}}. Surely these two are mutually exclusive? Can someone run a bot to find out how many fair use images are uploaded in SVG format, and how many have the convert to SVG template affixed? — Nicholas ( reply) @ 09:25, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

This is not a biggie but the template is used on user talk pages as well as other namespaces where it does not belong. It clutters up Category:Non-free logos (I have now tidied out a stack of these instances). Can the template be edited so that it throws up n error is used on pages that are not in file namespace? Or at least prevent it from showing up in Category:Non-free logos. -- Alan Liefting ( talk - contribs) 20:54, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, the change to this template made by SchuminWeb on November 19 was never discussed, and thus there was no consensus for it established. This makes it a Bold edit. I would like to take the next step in WP:BRD and Revert it, but I cannot, since I am not an admin. Therefore I request that an admin revert SchuminWeb's edit of November 19. Thanks.

Want to update my company logo to this thumb|Tun Media AS_logo Tun Media ( talk) 08:57, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
This template contains code for both
Category:All non-free logos and
Category:Non-free logos; however, as far as I can tell, there is no way to categorize directly into
Category:Non-free logos except to insert {{Non-free logo|Non-free logos}}
. So, I wonder:
{{file other|{{#if:{{{1|}}}|[[Category:{{{1}}}]]|[[Category:All non-free logos]]|[[Category:Non-free logos]]}}|}}</includeonly><noinclude>
to:
{{file other|{{#if:{{{1|}}}|[[Category:{{{1}}}]]|[[Category:All non-free logos]]}}|}}</includeonly><noinclude>

The issue described above appears to have mostly resolved itself, leaving just about 30 files remaining in
Category:Non-free logos—mainly due to an unintended byproduct of this template's conditional category logic whereby specifying a parameter {{{1}}}
suppresses
Category:All non-free logos. To address this, I suggest changing:
{{file other|{{#if:{{{1|}}}|[[Category:{{{1}}}]]|[[Category:All non-free logos]]|[[Category:Non-free logos]]}}|}}</includeonly><noinclude>
to:
{{file other|{{#if:{{{1|}}}|[[Category:{{{1}}}]][[Category:All non-free logos]]|[[Category:All non-free logos]]}}|}}</includeonly><noinclude>

This template can be switched to use {{ Uploader information}} if a change in the structure of the bulleted list is acceptable; I've drafted a new version of the template at Template:Non-free logo/sandbox. Yes, I know I can edit this template myself, but I'd like at least one other person agreeing. Jo-Jo Eumerus ( talk) 11:26, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

The categorization for the template itself into Category:Non-free logos should be removed for obvious reasons. Jonteemil ( talk) 07:08, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
{{

"It is believed that" is made redundant by the later "may qualify as". Its purpose is unclear, anyway. If it's to imply some sort of dubiety about the legal status of all fair use images on Wikipedia, then it's probably better to say "According to WMF Legal" or something like that. But I don't think there's much doubt (and it still falls under "may qualify as"). If it's to imply that this particular image does not qualify under fair use, then it's definitely made redundant. Could it be removed? Cheers, Ovinus ( talk) 17:39, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Proposal:
Change the link from non-free use (free content) to non-free use (Wikipedia page on non-free content).
Reasoning:
I found the overall template language and the two links in this particular sentence confusing: "logos [...] may qualify as non-free use under the Copyright Law." I couldn't tell right away if using the logo was restricted since the words "protected," "copyright," "qualify," and "non-free" seem to be at odds with each other.
Clicking on either link and searching for the words "non-free" turn up nothing. I then researched what "non-free" means. What we're trying to say is that this logo qualifies for a non-free use exception. Changing the link to the Wikipedia page on non-free content criteria would clarify this.

Um, this template seems to be accepting any input for the |image has rationale=
parameter and categorizing the file into
Category:Wikipedia non-free files with NFUR stated ,see
User:Minorax/sandbox/fairuse. Unsure what might be causing it though, think that it's something in {{
Yesno}} (might be the no
parameter). --

19:21, 3 January 2024 (UTC)TAnthony, you appear to have added and not documented a second unnamed parameter, which affects existing transclusions such as the one in File:What I Like About You title card.png. Your edit also removed {{ resolve category redirect}} from applying to the first unnamed parameter, which seems like it will cause some problems.
