|1d=By default {{tl|PD-scan}} is for files which are in public domain due to age, which means that author(s) died more than 70 years ago. If original file is in public domain for different reason, than use this parameter to indicate why. For example works published in US prior to 1923 should use {{tlx|PD-scan|PD-US}}. Files using this parameter but not providing a valid license will be added to [[:Category:PD-scan with incorrect primary license]]

|desc=This template is for use by the uploader of a scan scanned by somebody else to assert that the scan can have no independent copyright as it is simply a faithful reproduction of an old, public domain, two-dimensional work. The template takes one parameter to indicate why the original work of art is in the public domain. See [[Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag]]
