Template:Information/doc

This template is for use on all File: pages to describe uploaded images. Copy the template from the box below and paste it into the Summary box on the upload image page. Fill in as much as you can, but note that images without some form of source or licensing are candidates for deletion. Choose from one of the Category:Copyright tags to put in the licensing parameter. If you do this, you do not need to choose one from the drop-down list on the Upload page.

Usage

 * attention: Deprecated. This is here for backward compatibility only. Please use the Talk page of any image File: to raise awareness of a problem.
 * description: Optional. A sentence to describe the image for those that may not know what they are looking or are using a text reader to browse the wiki.
 * source: Required. Where the image came from, such as a web link  or text description: "Page 36 of The Complete Fighter's Handbook".
 * author1 : Optional. Give credit where credit is due and give the name of the artist or photographer responsible for this image. Do not wikilink the name, this will be done for you.
 * author2 to author5 : Optional. If there is more than one artist or photographer, use these parameters to list them all, up to a maximum of five.
 * licensing : Required. A template from Category:Copyright tags that describes the license that allows this image to appear on the wiki.

Categorization
The image will automatically appear in "Images by ARTISTNAME" categories, and some licensing templates, such as bookcover, will put the image into further categories. If source, author1, or licensing are left blank, a category will be generated to indicate the image needs more information. If necessary, you may add even more categories manually.

Origin
This template is loosely based on the book template at Wikipedia.
