Minor improvements in the copyright status of the work
Closed, ResolvedPublicFeature

Description

Feature summary: Minor improvements to how the copyright status of the work is displayed on the work page, to make it clearer and more understandable.

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution): Currently, whether the work is in the public domain or under copyright, the notice indicating the copyright status has a green background.

It would be desirable for the notice to be red when the work is in the private domain, as a warning.

On the other hand, in cases where, in Wikidata, the copyright status (P 6216) does not have a "applies to jurisdiction" qualifier (P 1001), Paulina displays the same notice for a very long list of all jurisdictions.

The desirable behavior would be to indicate that the status applies to all the world, or alternatively, that it is not known to which jurisdiction it applies.

I've already made the message about public domain status green when the work is in the public domain and red when the work is under copyright.

Fixed the second part of the task: the bug in which, when the copyright status statement had no qualifier 'applies to jurisdiction', Paulina showed a huge list of copyright statuses for every country or jurisdiction.
