Template:Information/sandbox/TemplateData

Note: This template is used on a lot of pages. In order not to put too much load on the servers, edits should be kept to a bare minimum. Please discuss proposed changes on the talk page first. Editing a template causes all pages that use the template to be re-rendered. If the template is used often, this can put a lot of load on the servers since it fills up the job queue. Keep in mind that templates that are used on file description pages also show up on other wikis.

Date of creation	date	Date of creation, when the original source (such as photograph of 3-D scene, digital file, or original 2-D artwork) was created.	String	required

This field should not be used to specify the scanner, finder or uploader of the image; they are not the author.	String	required
