Each parameter may, but does not need to, include the "File:" or "Image:" namespace prefix and/or the ".svg" file extension. Any other recognized extension will be replaced by ".svg".

The template will give an error message and add the maintenance category Vector version available/error if any of the specified files does not exist.

For quick insert (and replace) you can use a user-script (the first highlighted line could be redundant):

var ns = mw.config.get('wgNamespaceNumber'), ti = mw.config.get('wgTitle');
if (ns === 14 || (ns === 6 && !/SVG/i.test(ti.slice(-3)))
    importScript('User:Perhelion/fixconverttosvg.js'); // Automatic CONVERT-TO-SVG tags:
