For mere conversions to SVG:

  • {{AutVec}} - ("authors of vectorized raster graphic")

by User

The file specified with parameter 1, or each file specified with parameters 1 to n, can also be linked with the name of its author.
A value given with the parameter "by=" will be assigned to each file which does not have an individual author assignment with byn.
An individual author assignment can either specify an author, or with no value byn= that no "by" should exist for that file n.
The 'global' parameter "by=user" is for all files that neither get an own author name byn=user, nor are excluded byn=.

Abbrevition :

In simple cases the |by= can be abbreviated with "/":
{{ Derived fromExample.jpg/Exampleexample.svg/Extra }}
renders as
This file was derived from:

Colon

The template finishes its display with a new line; when the template is used just to display the text, like
{{ Derived from }} - This file was derived from: which will not be appropriate if continuation in the same line is required; the new line can be avoided by using a colon instead of the missing user name, e.g.
{{ Derived fromby = : }}{{ FExample.svg }}{{ Byexample }}<br /> - This file was derived from:Example.svg by example
without inbetween spaces; a final new line can be forced manually, as shown, or by passing "br" as a second parameter to {{By}}.
