Template:Image generation
es werden die entsprechenden Kategorisierungen vorgenommen — diese können zahlreich sein.
vengono associate una o più categorie.
Please test any changes in the template's /sandbox and consider discussing changes at the talk page before implementing them. |
en-1 | The description below was composed by a non-native English speaker. You are cordially invited to improve the literal quality of any textual expression. |
Uses Lua: |
- W3C validation
- SVG tool
- optional: SVG code used for creation
and a great number of other taggings formatted within one single line.
Categorisings occur depending on tool name, validation and other tags.
Some parameters/tags are only for SVG files, a few others only for raster images.
In case of difficulties using this template, its tag codes and this documentation, you may use the simpleSVGcheck utility script, or the easier {{File generation description}}.
Parameters for {{File generation description}} can be e.g.
|other fields = {{ File generation description |SVG tool = ChemDraw |W3C error count = 0 |Topic = structural formula |Text as path = yes }}less cryptic than
|other fields={{Igen|C|+|<}}which does exactly the same.
Igen/coa was a version for Coats of arms, in special with COAInformation.
Now Coats of arms are serviced with COAInformation and IgenCoa, after conversion.[clarification needed]
Usage
See also the template {{Creation}} for simpler usages within the Information box.
A user script has been developed to help maintaining file descriptions. Simply paste the following three lines into your common.js (or other MediaWiki skin-related) JavaScript page:
// [[User:Chealer/simpleSVGcheck.js]]
if (mw.config.get('wgNamespaceNumber') === 6 && /SVG/i.test(mw.config.get('wgTitle').slice(-3)))
mw.loader.load('//commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Chealer/simpleSVGcheck.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');
(You can also edit this (script page) via the Skin section of your preferences.)
The offered script support enables users – even novice users! – to use the template without knowing all details of its parametrizing.
The script cares for the most essential settings, and does a lot of standardizing the file descriptions when they are in need of being tidied up.
Expert users can complete the suggestions made from the script (e.g. by adding more tags) before saving the script’s changes of the file description page.
Alternative template
The template:File generation description is a version with descriptive parameter names for users not liking the cryptic short codes.
Most taggings can be specified in a better human-readable format with this more talkative template.
A rich and detailed documentation explains how easy it is to use that option.
Other tags
Can be set either by a shorthand notation code, or expressed like in the following examples:
Parameter settings

Additional information
The template is intended to be used in the following namespaces: the File namespace
The template is intended to be used by the following user groups: all users
Localization
This template is not intended to be localized.
Specific information
The template is intended to be used within the {{Information}} box, e.g. at Other fields=
, or anywhere outside
1=Inkscape
and 2=v
are the default values[clarification needed]This defaulting is a failure; Inkscape-default categorizes to a maintenance category.[clarification needed] See also Inkscape-undef.
Subtemplates
The template uses several specific subtemplates, e.g.
- {{Nil2}} – decides whether {{Information field}} is used
- {{I18n/COA}} – translation of the name
- {{Igen/2nd}} – extends the codes *, @, ), \, ° to taggings
- {{Igen/amp}} – analizes whether more than one SVG tool is used
- {{Igen/bug}} – adapter to {{SVGbug}}
- {{Igen/cat}} – tool for categorization
- {{Igen/cbx}} – {{ColorBox}} together with {{Igen/cbox}}
{{Igen/coa}} – after textsplitting of {{COAInformation/Image}}- {{Igen/cod}} – for syntax of {{Created with code}}
- {{Igen/csd}} – creates subcategory differentiation
- {{Igen/csf}} – checks whether an SVG drawing is a structural formula
- {{Igen/cwt}} – analizer whether tool exists
- {{Igen/emb}} – embedded text is found
- {{Igen/fgd}} – evaluates whether a topic is valid
- {{Igen/fif}} – for fictional items
- {{Igen/flg}} – subtemplate for Infobox flag
- {{Igen/glc}} – Graphic Lab CoA treatment
- {{Igen/lab}} – adapter for {{Graphic Lab}}
- {{Igen/map}} – subtemplate for Map Infobox
- {{Igen/nil}} – does absolutely nothing – nevertheless often used
- {{Igen/par}} – analizes parameter 1 (tool name) and parameter 2 (error count}
- {{Igen/ptx}} – path text is found
- {{Igen/qui}} – adapter for {{Quality image}}
- {{Igen/sni}} – displays text for "no inkscape"
- {{Igen/sub}} – prepares the topic code for subcategorizion
- {{Igen/swv}} –
<switch>
controlled variations - {{Igen/top}} – prepares the topic code for the display
- {{Igen/trg}} – adapter for 'topographic raster graphics'
- {{Igen/twt}} – adapter for {{Taken with}}
- {{Igen/THV}} – display & caregorize THV
- {{Igen/upl}} – extends one-letter-codes to category names
- {{Igen/wph}} – Wikipedia Project Heraldry display
- {{BadSVG-t}}, {{Created with X}} and more.
Such subtemplating allows swift maintenance while the large main template does not need to be touched.
The template and its subtemplates are using several internationalization methods, like {{Autotranslate}} and {{LangSwitch}}.
Additional notes
- ↑ a b c Every one of the signs ($, +, -) or parameters (%, ~, !, ?, §, &, <, ^,
>, ×, \, →, ⇒, °,
Ɨ
) can be passed in any sequence, each as an argument for one of the unnamed parameters #1 through #9.[clarification needed] - ↑ a b c d e f g h i j k This parameter allows suppression with the parameter value "-" (or just the parameter without any value, e.g.
cat=
)[clarification needed] - ↑ Every one of the eight signs can be used either as a positional parameter, or as a named parameter passing the value to the corresponding template; see Named and unnamed parameters.
Because letters are used for the abbreviation of tool names, parameters #1 to #9 use other characters.[clarification needed]

Parameter table
The table shows for some given simple situations one of several possibilities to set parameters:
- if the tool needs to be specified, it’s only possible with parameter #1
- an error number can be specified either with parameter #2, or everywhere with err=
- the
n
at parameter #2 clarifies that the file is non-SVG - to tag a file which is not SVG the
n
needs to be set with parameter #2 - when used as an argument of

Parameter 2
Parameter #2 has historically been the place to specify the file’s validation, as in transclusions like {{Inkscape||v}}
.
Now it may contain one of the following:
- The character "v" to mark a valid SVG file. Because this is the default for SVG files it is not necessary to be specified and can be omitted.
- The character "n" to mark a non-SVG file. Because this is the default for non-SVG files it is not necessary to be specified explicitly.
- The character "s" to mark a SVG file with suppression of the W3C-box. To enable proper category sorting, "e= " must be specified explicitly (
e=0
for "valid"). - The W3C error count: either "0" (for a valid SVG), a number > zero or -1. This error count can also be given with the parameter
e=
. Default is "0". - The value "-1" for SVG code that can't be checked by the W3C validator (a common reason is the missing XML header which can be easily fixed); "Other tool" is implied, no need to specify it.
- One of the signs

. These can also occur as arguments for any one of the unnamed parameters #1 through #9.
Suppress the validity box
Parameter #2 set to "n" for raster graphics avoids the validity box and enables correct categorizing.
To suppress the box for SVG files, set parameter #2 to "s". When the SVG file is invalid, always set the e=
parameter, otherwise e=0
to enable correct categorizing and sorting within the category. Setting "s
" without "e=
" let the file be W3C-unspecified.
If it seems necessary to tag a file with more than one generation tool, the other tool(s) can be added with e.g. t={{Created with ...|err=…|vo=n}}
.
The validator option vo
set to "n" avoids to show the box again, while err
must specify the error count (or "0") to categorize correctly, including the descending sorting within the category in the case of validation errors.
SimplSVG template
To combine both the advantages of SimplSVG and Image generation it is possible to transclude the first one by the second.
This can be done by setting {{ Igen | … | … | + | S | and then the parameters for SimplSVG, followed by them for Image generation }}.
Keep in mind that the tool for the former image must be specified, while the Text Editor is always assumed as the tool for the simplified image!
An example may be e.g. File:Non-EU-section-with-MK-2012.svg with {{ Igen | I | 18034 | 272 | v | % | + | S }}
To suppress the categorization to SVG Simplified subcategories, use |S|sub=-
(with -
!), or short |S-
(with -
!).
S
(or S-
) can be specified at any position from 2 to 13 (S-
even instead of the toolname T
at position 1), e.g. 10=S
(or 10=S-
).
Exactly the same can be specified alterny with the parameters {{ Igen | I | + | sb = 18034 | sa = 272 | % | s = v }} ,
- where
sb
specifies thesize-before
, andsa
thesize-actual
; - for the template:File generation description that is expressed with the pair of numbers e.g.
Simplified SVG = 18034/272
plus additional positional and named parameters for SimplSVG
(like e.g. vs=-
),
plus additional positional and named parameters for Igen
like e.g. %
, vsub=
and/or T=
.
No conflict can occur with the free-position parameters because SimplSVG uses letters, and Image generation uses other characters.
The layout can be controlled with the parameter vs
:
- mimimized layout, 1 line:
default (parameter skipped, or
vs=-
/vs=n
) - small layout with 2 lines:
vs=
(orvs=fl
for "float-left") - medium layout, 3 lines:
vs=z
(orvs=Z
) - large layout with 3 lines:
vs
with any other value than the above
Color boxes
C: Tinctures can be specified with parameter C=
, e.g. C=a/g/v
or C=or/gules
;
the parameter Css=
can be used to select another tincture variation.
cb: It is also possible to draw different Color Boxes above the other line(s) of the templates output.
While the template:{{ColorString}} can be used everywhere, e.g. at the "description" field of the {{Information}}
to draw such boxes, within Image generation the parameter cb=
is provided for that.
For File generation description the parameter Colorbox=
does the same.
Parameter value: consists in each case of subparameters, separated by slashes.
In general, a pair of subparameters, or a series of such pairs is specified.
- The first parameter of each pair is a valid CSS color name, a valid Tincture name or a valid hexadecimal color code;
it can as well be expressed as an argument of {{Xconv}}, e.g. {{ Xconv | rgb(204,51,102) }} ( ), or {{ Xconv | 75%50%100% }} ( ) - The second parameter can specify a descriptional text, e.g. "rouge" or something else, it may also be a (wiki)link;
it can as well be expressed as an argument of {{Xconv}}. When it is missing (specified empty), the first parameter is displayed.
These parameter values can be preceded by a pair of control characters:
The first control code may be a "+" to generate a field name; other characters or none won't.
Control code 1 +
will generate the standard field name as shown below, with +=
any other text can be specified.
Uses Lua: |
- none or " " or "C" to use the template Legend with parameter pairs – the standard usage.
- "B" to use the template ColorBox with single parameter values,
- "D" to use the template ColorBox with parameter pairs,,
- "L" to use the template Legend with single parameter values, ¹)
- "M" to use the template Legend-small with parameter pairs, ²)
- "S" to use the template Legend-small with single parameter values,
- "T" to use the template Tbc with parameter pairs, and special treatment for the title.
- ¹) the "L" possibility exists just for completion – normally a "Legend" without an explaining second value will not be useful.
- ²) the "M" possibility can as well be specified with the second control code "-".
To show it again, formatted as a table:
template | parameters | control code 1 | control code 2 | Example (xxx/yyy/... stands for the parameter pairs) | field name (title) ⁴) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Legend | pairs | "+" or none | none | +/ /xxx/yyy/... or ³)

(without the empty control characters)
- but for the control code 2 instead of " " the value "C" may be used to title "Colors" instead of "Legend"
⁴) With the control code 1 +=
the free selection of another field name than the standard one is possible,, e.g. |cb=+={{I18n/Colors}}/ ...
- without the
+
(just|cb=/
) flags will get the field name "Flag colors".
Category:Wikimedia icons. See some examples of using cb (with control code 2: B, D, M, S and T) and of += at
Stripes and lines:
Legend boxes can be striped by different patterns, and/or mixed with Legend-lines.
See examples at the documentation.
Tbc needs decimal coded color codes.
Internal functions can convert hexadecimal triplets, tincture names and CSS color names for Tbc
.
Other color names are not decimalizable, because of that not all color names can be used for Tbc
.
A field name is always created and can't be deselected, independent from the first control code (which can be "e" for Easy border).
Example strings for Tbc:
/T/#900/wikidata red/#396/wikidata green/#069/wikidata blue |
hexadecimal triplets & names |
/T/argent//céleste//gules//sable |
tinctures w/o names |
/T/CornflowerBlue/#6495ED/BlanchedAlmond/#FFEBCD |
CSS colors, and their hex codes for names |

SVG source code display
is performed centrally by Image generation; previously it had been an option of some single templates, now it can only be done when such a template is invoked by Image generation. The table shows where the code-categories are defined.
The documentation explains how the different parameters can be used to format the output; a short reference can be found below.
Category
All the Created with ... templates categorize to "Created with ...", the SVG created with ... templates to "[in]valid SVG created with ...".
This automatic generated category can be customized with subcategory specification and/or sorting keys (key=).
- It is strongly recommended to change that reasonable categorizing only in cases of very good reason!
With the parameter "cat=" (or short "c=", also "category=") the automatic categorizing can be overwritten:
- with
cat=-
every categorization will be suppressed (it can as well be done with "cat=n" or just "cat="). - another value without "[[" brackets (e.g.
cat=xxx
), will be completed with the specified values of subcategory and/or sorting key, brackets and namespace:
e.g.[[Category:{{{cat}}}{{{sub|}}}|{{{key|}}}]]
- when the value starts with brackets (e.g.
cat=[[
…), it will be used as-it-is: nothing is changed, specified values of the parameters sub and key are then ignored.
Other parameters for categories:
■ !c = for BadSVGs |
^c = for QI |
cc = for Created with code/suppression
|
■ &c = for e.g. QGIS |
$c = for Commonist
| |
■ <c = for Path text |
>c = for Large SVG files
| |
■ tc = for Taken with |
Cc = for Tincture
| |
■ fc = for Fictional files |
bfc = for Broken file
| |
■ cni = for SVG created with Inkscape:Important |
cw = the "Created with" category
|
The parameter cw
has three functions:
- the
logo
will be {{ F | {{{cw}}} logo.svg }} - the
toolname
will be the link {{ W | {{{cw}}} }} - the
category
will be {{ C | Created with {{{cw}}} }}
to simulate together with e.g. Other tool a not-yet existent tool.
Subcategory specification
The template offers various possibilities to diffuse a category by subcategories.
- With
sub=
a suffix to the category name is specified;- when this suffix string needs to be prefixed with a semicolon "
:
" use the parameters:=
orsub:=
{the display occurs with "lcfirst"; to force an "ucfirst" the parametersu:=
can be used). - or when this suffix string needs to be prefixed with a hyphen "
-
" use the parameters-=
orsub-=
.
- when this suffix string needs to be prefixed with a semicolon "
- An uppercase
S=
does the same but an in-between space is inserted. - Recommended is to use the parameter
s=
which bears several advantages:
- With a code of one letter (or an abbreviation of some letters) many predefined subcategories are accessable; the subtemplate Igen/sub cares for the expansion.
- Such a short code is also used as a topic for the description by many other templates;
while Igen/sub expands only to subcategory names in English, the subtemplate Igen/top transposes multilingual.
Only in cases where the required topic differs from the subcategory, or no subcategory should come in effect, another code can be defined to substitute the s=
value. This topic letter can be defined with the parameter topic=
or what
/w=
and becomes expanded instead. ("w" for what=
because the "t" had been used for "trailing text", and cannot be used to abbreviate topic=
).
Other parameters for subcategories:
■ !s = for {{BadSVG}}s |
<s = for {{Igen/ptx}}
|
■ ?s = for {{Rsvg bug}}s |
§s = for {{TracedSVG}}
|
■ &s = for e.g. {{QGIS}} |
$s = for {{Commonist}}
|
■ gc = for {{Graphic Lab}}-xx |
With the parameter sd=
always a subcategory differentiation can be defined.
Topics
When as well s=
and sub=
or S=
are defined, sub/S is used for subcategorizing (or suppression with sub=-
) and s=
can then be used like w=
for topic specification. The topic option can alse be suppressed with w=-
, independent from s/sub/S
.
As said above, the parameter s
can be used for subcategorizing; when no parameter topic=
(or what
/w=
) is specified the value of s
is also used for the topic text by the national versions of the Created with ... templates. Except of this defaulting the two parameters can be defined and/or suppressed completely independent from each other.
These tables show the conversion of s=
, and the conversion & translation of w=
.
These topics are passed to many other templates. While a few of the Created with ... templates have default topics defined, only an explicitely specified topic can be passed further.
Subcat & topic
It is also possible to define with one single parameter sub-category and topic, with a subcategory-separator semicolon ":
" or minus "-
".
Parameter values of "s:
" and "s-
" specify a subcategory; they are prefixd with a ":
" resp. a "-
",
but except that they are used as-they-are.
When there is neither a parameter "topic", "what"/"w", nor "s" then the parameter values of
"s:
" / "s-
" are used also for topics, with their first letter lower-cased, but not translated.
Parameter values of "s:" and "s-" specify a subcategory which is prefixed with a ":
" resp. a "-
",
the first letter is capitalized and a final (plural-)"s" is added.
Example: s:=digit
specifies the subcategory ":Digits" (as is done with s=7
).
When there is neither a parameter "topic", "what"/"w", nor "s" then the parameter values of
"s:
" / "s-
" are used also for topics, with their first letter lower-cased, but not translated.
Similar is the result with sub:=
and sub-=
but neither case changing nor adding of a plural-"s" occurs.
The parameters S:
and Sub:
are working like s:
and sub:
, with an additional space after the semicolon.
Usage of "s" and "w"
The parameter s=
specifies a topic for subcategorization, and for the display (if no "w=" is specified).
The parameter w=
specifies a topic only for the display; it will be nationalized into the user's language.
Example: |s=tl|
specifies the subcategory :Text logos
, and (without "w=") also the display text "text logo" in different languages;
but with |w=tl|s=l|
the subcatory will be :Logos
with the nationalized display text "text logo".
Graphic Lab
For the connection of files with the Graphic Lab exist multiple possibilities.
Graphic labs are in general for all images, special subcategories exist for coats of arms, flags and maps.
Dependent to the need these are divided into more subcategories, and e.g. the CoA Lab-fr has many user subcats.
Some graphic lab subcategories contain only a few items, while others are extremly crowded and may need further subcategorizing.
Image generation knows many two-letter codes for graphic lab access, consisting of the letter g
for graphic lab, and another character for the nationality.
Comparable to the Template:W which also has in most cases a one-letter abbreviation for the national Wikipedia, this system is effectiv but has limits.
Because of the manageable total of graphic labs, this seems sufficient and clear enough: f
stands for fr, h
for hu, i
for it and so on.
With the two-letter code g× as parameter at any position Igen is enforced to a special treatment; most of it is done by the subtemplate Igen/lab.
User category: can be defined with the two-letter-code specifying a user name, e.g. gH=ARK|s=c
categorizes the file to CoA Lab-ch:ARK.
Same can be done with |u=ARK|gH|s=c
. To avoid categorization, write |u=ARK|s=c|gH=
To avoid the necessity of defining ever and ever again long parameter combinations, such defintions can be deposited for each user and automatically transfered.
From each definition, the module creates a complete {{ Igen | ... | ... | ... }} transclusion parameter and passes it to the file description.
It is possible to have more than one definition for a user (with different keys!), and the parameter values can be manually modified.
This treatment in intended for coats of arms using the Template:COAInformation but it can as well be used for any other file;
an interface template can serve for the connection to the module and the stored parameters.[clarification needed]
The definitions are stored in a Lua module's internal table; it needs some care but not much skill to modify it or to add definitions.
The automatism is done by the cleanup script, which can be performed as the last step of different flow modes.
These are the different flows:
1: ToCoa only | ToCoa script | e1 | |||
2: ToCoa & SVG | ToCoa script | e1 | SVGcheck script | cleanupscript | e2 |
3: Coa + cleanup[clarification needed] | ToCoa script | e1 | ---------------→ | cleanupscript | e2 |
4: SVGcheck | SVGcheck script | cleanup script | e2 | ||
5: cleanup only | cleanup script | e2 |
- Explanation:
- 1) in any case, an Information template can be converted to a COAInformation template
e1
after the conversation, the script offers the changed description in edit mode; final edits can be done before the conversion is saved.
- 2) for SVG files, after the steps as above the SVGcheck script can be started, which continues with the cleanup.
e2
the cleanup script will offer the changed description in edit mode for final editing before it is published- after that publishing save, Imge generatkion will run and the success can immediately be seen;
- of course it will be better to have first a preview, to check whether it is free of errors and looks good !
- 3) after the conversion can directly proceeded to cleanup - for raster images th SVGcheck is not possible.
- 4) but for SVG images always the SVGcheck can be performed, which continues with the cleanup.
- The cleanup can be performed for any file, when necessary repeatedly.
In the case that a file description is done with COAInformation, the cleanup script compares the author name with an internal user list and provides the parameter |image =
with the found key. Modifications can be done by the editing user before the changes are published.
The cleanup script can detect whether the image is an element or a raster graphic, and select the appropriate key;
but it cannot see whether it's an ecclesiastical image, this is evident only for the editing user who has to do the modification.
The Module IgenCoa
Keys for some national labs are further diffused, e.g.
g_lab | coa | charges | eccles. | individ. | excl. cat |
gd | d | dc | de | di | dx |
ge | e | ec | ee | ei | ex |
gf | f | fc | fe | fi | fx |
Parameter reference
Named and unnamed parameters
Each one of the following parameter codes can be used either positional to set taggings with extern templates,
or they can be used as parameter names to pass an individual information to the templates.[clarification needed]
The function is like using the templates with the |t=
parameter, either without or with an individual information.
Example:
- (positional) "?" can also be written as "t={{SVGbug}}"
- (named p.) "?=rendering error" can also be written as "t={{SVGbug|description=rendering error}}"
In general:
when subparameters exist, their specification makes the main parameter redundant.
As an example, \
or \=file name
invokes {{Superseded}} resp. {{Bitmap version available}}.
\x=file extension
and/or\r=reason
will invoke that template as well.
This option is valid for all subparameters.
