This documentation is transcluded from Template:Information/doc.

Please give full information for the description, date, source and author fields.

The date of a photograph must be when the original photograph was created, and not the date of upload, nor the date of scanning or digitizing. If the photographic image has been modified please give author, date and license for each modification. Please use template {{Artwork}} or {{Art photo}} if the image is of a painting, sculpture or other artwork and {{Book}} if the image is a part of a complete set of page scans of a book (or in the case of DjVu and PDF, one file may comprise all the pages).

This template is used to provide formatting to the basic information for files (description, source, author, etc.), and it is automatically inserted by the upload tools. All the field names are not case sensitive. The template is able to access information in Structured Data on Commons (SDC), so if proper SDC data is used some or even all the fields can be omitted.

For a full usage description of the template, see Commons:First steps/Quality and description.

The template automatically sets the following categories: Category:Author matching Creator template, Creator template not used when appropriate

Template parameters

description
Description
DescriptionDescription of the image or other media file

The content of the description should provide brief (if possible) but complete information about the file's contents. It should identify:

  • subjects like notable people (use the {{Depicted person}} template), animals, objects, cars, weapons, etc. Image annotations may help with images such as group pictures where different details might warrant separate descriptions, but those annotations might not be visible on Wikipedias which did not adopt the gadget to display them.
  • if applicable and relevant, the location (city, country, building name or address, etc.) by text.
    Note that location coordinates are not directly included as separate field in the "Information" template. Template {{Location}} (for camera location and heading, preferred) and/or {{Object location}} (for the depicted objects) should be used. Template {{Location}} should be placed directly above or below {{Information}}.
    Note: some contributors prefer to include location template(s) into the "Description" field of {{Information}} template in order to group all location information together—this solution is fully serviceable but objections are in point of graphic design not ideal adjusted for such use. See this discussion and also this one.

In general, the description should provide enough information to support the file's categorization (excluding technical categories like those about file type or size).

The description format should use language templates like {{En}} or {{De}} to specify the language of each description. It may use internal or interwiki links to Wikipedia articles, Commons galleries or Commons categories (which helps disambiguating and keeping concise).

When the name of the file is descriptive enough to be used directly as its description, the short notation {{F|F}} can be used (with or without additional text, e.g. |description={{en|{{F|F}} }}).

An alternative or complement to this field is a structured data caption.
SDC's captions followed by {{Description missing}}required
date
Date
Date of creationDate of creation, when the original source (such as photograph of 3-D scene, digital file, or original 2-D artwork, or SVG drawing) was created. Possible formats:
  • ISO 8601 is the preferred format, e.g. "2006-01-15" for "15 January 2006". Dates following this format are processed by {{ISOdate}}. The following formats are recognized:
    • YYYY
    • YYYY-MM
    • YYYY-MM-DD
    • YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm[1]
    • YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss[1]
  • Use {{Other date}} for less precise dates, like: circa…, after…, spring of…, between…, etc.
  • It is possible to use {{Date}} template. For example "date=2008-06-09" is equivalent to "date={{date|2008|6|9}}", but ISO 8601 format is preferred.
    In many cases multiple dates and/or extra explanations are required:
  • For photos, we have special templates {{Taken on}} and {{Taken in}} to indicate when the photograph was taken and to distinguish it from the creation date of the depicted work, or from the creation date of the derivative work (modified or cropped photo, collage etc.). Those templates use ISO format (e. g. {{Taken on|YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm}} or {{Taken in|YYYY}}).
  • If the date is missing, but the digital file has EXIF data, then the {{According to EXIF data}} template can be added (usually done by a bot). The templates use the ISO format (e. g. {{According to EXIF data|YYYY-MM-DD}}).
  • If the creation date of a file moved from other project is unknown, {{Original upload date}} can be used — this template should be also used (in addition) if the first publication date (outside Commons) is relevant in relation to copyright. This template also uses the ISO format.
  • If the creation date of a file (not moved from other project) is unknown, {{Upload date}} can be used. This template also uses the ISO format.
  • If the file is a modified or derivative work, then both the date of the original (source) work and the date of the last version (derivative work) should be stated with appropriate comments or notes.
  • If the date has to be furnished with some specifying text, not covered by one of the above templates, (e. g. "date of creation", "date of the first publication", "date of modification" etc.) then dates have to be specified using {{ISOdate}} (i.e. {{ISOdate|2009-08-18}} (date of creation)) or {{Date}} (i.e. {{date|2008|6|9}} (date of modification)) templates.
  • If the file is not a simple copy of the depicted work, the date or year of the creation of the depicted work should be stated rather in the "description" field.

SourceInformation about where the file is from; if the file is based on other files then the original files should also be uploaded (if possible) and referenced. Possible content:
  • {{Own}} for works uploaded by the author
  • {{Own based}} for works based on other images already on Commons. This template takes its own parameters for the names of the files on which the image is based, and is used thus: {{own based|name of first file.jpg|name of second file.svg}}
  • {{Own using}} may alternatively be used to indicate the (data) sources used to generate a diagram, indicating where the data files were found on the web (i.e. their URLs or web addresses).
  • {{Self-photographed}} for photos created by the author
  • {{Private correspondence}} for previously unpublished works uploaded at the behest of a third party who wishes to remain confidential (such works must be connected with a Volunteer Response Team ticket and the {{subst:PP}} message box should be added to the file after an email with a permission statement has been sent to VRTS)
  • When it is derived from other files, {{Derived from}} with a list of those files
  • Book reference (using {{Scan}} and {{Cite book}} templates) for images scanned from a book. If image was scanned by the uploader that should be mentioned too: {{Own scan}}
  • {{Transferred from}} for works transferred from Wikipedia

Author
AuthorOriginal author[2] of the file; where appropriate, use {{Creator|Personal name}}. If the work is derived from or depicts works by someone other than the author, the author of the original work should also be mentioned. For example, for a photograph of a sculpture, make a mention of both the sculptor and the photographer; for vectorizing, use the template {{AutVec}}. This field should not be used to specify the uploader of a file who merely scanned a preexisting image or found the file, since neither uploading nor scanning make that person the author. Possible content:
  • {{Original uploader}} To indicate the original author who originally uploaded the work to a different Wikimedia site.
An alternative to using this field is to use SDC's creator (P170) property. See Commons:Structured data/Modeling/Author for supported formats.

PermissionLicense and other usage limitations and warnings. Due to the size of many license templates, they are often placed in a separate section below {{Information}} template, e.g. the == {{int:license-header}} ==. In such a case, please leave this field blank!
The license is related primarily to the file itself. If need to state a license of the depicted (or other source) work, include it additionally with appropriate comment. If needed, use relevant FoP templates. You can use {{Artwork}} instead of {{Information}} for simple copies of artworks.

Recommendations

For many media it is desirable to use a geocoding template in addition to the Information template.

Microformat

This template also emits an hCalendar microformat marking the creation of the image as an event. To do this, it requires the {{Date}} template, and takes the file name as the "summary" property. Optionally, it can include the {{Creator}} as an attendee and an hCard microformat, and use the contents of {{Description}} as the hCalendar's "description" property. Coordinates may be included by use of {{Location}} or {{Object location}}.
