Disputed / something missing:

• {{Clarify}} – an in-line template

• {{References missing}} – generally for files where the description or depiction needs references
• {{Datasource missing}} – for own diagrams and maps visualizing data that needs references
• {{No source since}} – deletion warning for missing essential source information
• {{Sourcefield}} - produces a warning that a file appears to have an invalid entry in its "Source" parameter; for use on user talk pages, not file pages; less serious than the {{No source since}} warning; does not threaten deletion

Fictional (consciously):

• {{Fake sports logo}} – for potentially serious confusion
• {{Fictional}} – proposed insignia ("flag", "sign", "seal", "CoA", …)
• {{Fake insignia}} — generic "faked" symbols, to facilitate identification but often not factually accurate to avoid copyright issues.
• {{Fictitious flag}} – for potentially serious confusion

Generally:

• {{Original caption}} – from the image itself (more like a info)
• {{Warning}} – a template box
• Glamorous scan for file uses
• Glamorgan scan for file uses (best to ignore uses of maps)
