It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots for identification and critical commentary on the film and its contents on Screenpedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit University of Alabama, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law.

 For Interwiki links, use shortcuts based on a prefix.  E.g., the prefixes ''Wikipedia'' and ''Wiktionary'' may be used thus:
-*<code><nowiki>[[Wikipedia:Apple]]</nowiki></code> results in [[Apple]].
+*<code><nowiki>[[Wikipedia:apple]]</nowiki></code> displays as [[Wikipedia:apple]].
-*<code><nowiki>[[Wiktionary:cinematography]]</nowiki></code> results in [[Wiktionary:cinematography]]

+*<code><nowiki>[[Wiktionary:cinematography]]</nowiki></code> displays as [[Wiktionary:cinematography]]
 Here's a few other prefixes and the URL they call up:
