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 {{tl|Artwork}} or {{tl|Art photo}} if the image is of a painting, sculpture or other artwork and {{tl|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).
== Purpose ==


{{Nobold|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 [[com:SDC|Structured Data on Commons]] (SDC), so if proper SDC data is used some or even all the fields can be ommited.}}
This template records and displays metadata for media files, such as photographs and diagrams.  It includes a description of the file, its source, and its copyright status.


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

|1aliases = Description
|}
|1d-en = Description of the image or other media file. The '''content''' of the description should provide brief (if possible) but complete information about the image. It should:
* Identify subject like notable people (use {{tl|Depicted person}} template), animals, objects, cars, weapons, etc.
* Identify location (if relevant) by text, like: city, country, building name or address, etc.
* Note that location coordinates are not directly included as separate field in the "Information" template. Template {{tl|location}} (for camera location and heading, preferred) and/or {{tl|object location}} (for the depicted objects) should be used. Template {{tl|location}} should be placed directly above or below {{tl|Information}}.<br /><small>Note: some users prefer to include location template(s) into the "Description" field of {{tl|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 [[Template talk:Information/Archive 2#Location template|this]] discussion and also [[Template talk:Information/Archive 2#Suggestions|this]] one.</small>
* In general, description should provide information to support all subject categories of the file.
* In case of group pictures or other images where image details might warrant separate description please use [[Commons:Image annotations|image annotations]], but remember that those annotations might not be visible on Wikipedias which did not adopt the gadget to display them.
The description '''format''' should use:
* {{C|Language templates}} like {{tl|en}} or {{tl|de}} to specify the language of the description.
* [[:w:Hyperlink|Wikilinks]] to Wikipedia articles, [[Commons:Galleries|Commons galleries]] or [[Commons:Categories|Commons categories]]. This helps with disambiguation and allows shorter format.
When the ''name of the file'' is enough descriptive that it could be used in the file description without alteration, the short notation [[Template:F/doc#descr|<nowiki>{{F|F}}</nowiki>]] can be used (with or without additional text) e.g. <code><nowiki>|description={{en|{{F|F}}.}}</nowiki></code>
An alternative or complement to this field is a [[com:File_captions|structured data caption]].

|2=date
|2aliases = Date
|2d-en = Date 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:'''<!--Keep an empty paragraph between this para and the list start to avoid borking the formatting inside a table:-->
 
* [[:en:ISO 8601|ISO 8601]] is the preferred format, e.g. "2006-01-15" for "15 January 2006". Dates following this format are processed by {{tl|ISOdate}}. The following formats are recognized:
** YYYY
** YYYY-MM
** YYYY-MM-DD
** YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm<ref name="d">Date should be a date, preferred without any timestamping</ref>
** YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss<ref name="d"/>
* Use {{tl|other date}} for less precise dates, like: circa…, after…, spring of…, between…, etc.
* It is possible to use {{tl|date}} template. For example "<code>date=2008-06-09</code>" is equivalent to "<code>date={{tlx|date|2008|6|9}}</code>", but [[:en:ISO 8601|ISO 8601]] format is preferred.<br /> In many cases multiple dates and/or extra explanations are required:
* For photos, we have special templates {{tl|Taken on}} and {{tl|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. {{tld|Taken on|YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm}} or {{tld|Taken in|YYYY}}).
* If the date is missing, but the digital file has [[:en:EXIF|EXIF]] data, then the {{tl|According to EXIF data}} template can be added (usually done by a [[Commons:Bots|bot]]). The templates use the ISO format (e. g. {{tld|According to EXIF data|YYYY-MM-DD}}).
* If the creation date of a file moved from other project is unknown, {{tl|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, {{tl|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 {{tl|ISOdate}} (i.e. {{tld|ISOdate|2009-08-18}} (''date of creation'')) or {{tl|date}} (i.e. {{tld|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.
An alternative to using this field is to use [[com:SDC|SDC]]'s {{P|P571}} property. See [[Commons:Structured data/Modeling/Date]] for supported formats.

|3=source
=== Mandatory parameters ===
|3aliases = Source
|3d-en = Information about where the file is from (own files should be tagged with {{tl|own}}); if the file is based on other files then the original files should also be uploaded (if possible) and referenced. Possible content:<!--Keep an empty paragraph between this para and the list start to avoid borking the formatting inside a table:-->


* {{tl|own}} for works uploaded by the author
;description: Describe of the content, (historical) background, and in the case of scientific data, a brief scientific analysis of the media file.
* {{tl|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: {{tld|own based|name of first file.jpg|name of second file.svg}} Please note that {{tl|own based}} may also be used to indicate the (data) source used to generate a diagram etc.
* {{tl|sf}} for photos created by the author
* {{tl|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 an [[Commons:OTRS|OTRS ticket]] and the tag {{tlsx|OP}} should be added to the file after an email with a permission statement has been sent to OTRS)
* [[:en:URL|URL]] where the file was found on the web, i.e. its url or its web address
* {{tl|Derived from}} when it is derived from other files, a list of those files
* Book reference (using {{tl|scan}} and {{tl|Cite book}} templates) for images scanned from a book. If image was scanned by the uploader that should be mentioned too: {{tl|own scan}}
{{see|Commons:Essential information}}
An alternative to using this field is to use [[com:SDC|SDC]]'s {{P|P7482}} property. See [[Commons:Structured data/Modeling/Source]] for supported formats.


|3d-td-en = Where the file is from. Your own files should be tagged with {{own}}.
;author: Author(s) of the image. If no individual person is known, use the name of the institution that owns, published or released the file.

|3def=[[com:SDC|SDC]]'s {{P|P7482}},<br/>{{tl|Source missing}}


|4=author
=== Other parameters ===
|4aliases = Author
|4d-en = Original author<ref>Author should be a link, but without the link to a user talk space</ref> of the file; where appropriate, use {{tld|Creator|Name Surname}}.  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 {{tl|AutVec}}. This field should ''not be used'' to specify the name of the person who is the scanner, finder, or uploader of the image – these things do not make that person the author.


An alternative to using this field is to use [[com:SDC|SDC]]'s {{P|P170}} property. See [[Commons:Structured data/Modeling/Author]] for supported formats.
;source: Explain where the image is acquired from. Please specify accurately. For instance:
#''Work of the uploader themself:'' Specify {{tl|Own}}.
#''Acquired from a website:'' Specify the URL of the web page from which it is acquired. Optionally, include a direct link to the image. (Never include a direct link alone.)
#''Scanned from a book or magazine:'' Specify the title, author, publisher, publication year, ISBN and page of the book or title, issue, volume, publication month and year, ISSN (if available) and page of the journal. You can use {{tl|cite book}} and {{tl|cite journal}}.


|4d-td-en = Original author of the file; where appropriate, use {{Creator|Name Surname}}.
;date: Date of creation, or date of publication. Although not compulsory, it is advised to stick to the recommendations of {{Section link|Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers|Dates}}. Specifically, please avoid ambiguous dates like 02/03/04 which can refer to 2 March 2004, 3 February 2004, 4 March 2002 or 3 April 2002, depending on the geographical origin of the person who sees it.

|5=permission
;permission: '''Optional'''. Not to be mistaken with license. Description of the permissions granted by the copyright holder. Use only when the accompanying license tag is not enough. Note that the media file must still be tagged with the appropriate license template. Select a copyright tag from [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/All]].
|5aliases = Permission
|5d-en = {{Anchor|permission}}License and other usage limitations and warnings. Due to the size of many license templates, they are often placed in a separate section below {{tl|information}} template, e.g. the <code><nowiki>== {{int:license-header}} ==</nowiki></code>. In such a case, '''please ''<u>leave this field blank</u>'''''!<br />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 [[:Category:FoP templates|FoP templates]]. You can use {{tl|Artwork}} instead of {{tl|Information}} for simple copies of artworks.

Please only link to images that can be used instead of the image at hand; do not use this field as a mean of grouping related files. Instead, use [[Help:Categories|categories]].
|6aliases = Other versions/other_versions/Other_versions
|6d-en = Links to files with very similar content or derived files; use thumbnails with {{tl|F}} or {{W|Wikipedia:Gallery tag|gallery tag}}s, e.g. {{tl|G}}.
If&nbsp;appropriate, {{tl|Derivative versions}} is useful.  See also: {{C|Other versions templates}}.

|7aliases = Other fields/other_fields/Other_fields
|7d-en = Additional table fields added on the bottom of the template. You have to use {{tl|Information field}}/{{tl|InFi}} <small>or a specialized template, such as {{tl|Credit line}}, {{tl|Image generation}}, {{tl|Taken with ...}}, {{tl|Created with code}},

=== Recommendations ===
For many media it is desirable to use a [[:Category:Geocoding templates|geocoding template]] in addition to the Information template.
== Microformat ==
This template also emits an [[W:HCalendar|hCalendar]] [[W:microformat|microformat]] marking the creation of the image as an event. To do this, it requires the {{tl|Date}} template, and takes the file name as the "summary" property. Optionally, it can include the {{tl|Creator}} as an attendee and an [[w:HCard|hCard]] microformat, and use the contents of {{tl|Description}} as the hCalendar's "description" property. Coordinates may be included by use of {{tl|Location}} or {{tl|Object location}}.
See also [[Commons:Machine-readable data]].
