    TemplateData

    TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.


    Existing template documentation
    At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either ‎useTemplateData=1 or ‎useTemplateData=only on the ‎/doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. ‎<nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.

    Newly created template documentation and imports
    Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw ‎<templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.

    Discussion
    There is an ongoing discussion about that matter. Feel invited to comment if you are experienced in either way, your time permits and if you like to share your opinion or to make a suggestion.

However in case of sculptures and other 3D works information about the photographer is important to justify the license.

    Additional information

    The template is intended to be used in the following namespaces: the File namespace

    The template is intended to be used by the following user groups: all users

    Placement: At the top of the page

    Relies on:
    {{I18n/map}} (field name translations), {{I18n/map projection}} (translations and Wikipedia links for selected map projections), {{Compass rose file}} (file displayed in header field), {{Map/bbox}} (bounding box)

    Localization

    To add your language to the list of languages supported by this template, please edit the template and add a row to the "{{LangSwitch|}}" construct. It takes the form "|xx= Your translation " (xx being the code of your language)

    Translations are handled by {{I18n/map}} and {{I18n/map headers}} templates

    Image generation

    Every vector or raster graphic image should be provided by a statement about its development. This can be done with the template Igen as a value of other fields, or in a very short form with an argument for image. This argument can be

    • two values separated by a slash: the first and the second parameter for template Image generation, e.g.
    • A/0 for valid Adobe   (I/0 or /12 can be written simply as one value 0 or 12)
    • D/3 for CorelDraw, invalid due to 3 errors
    • GIMP/n for a raster image created with GIMP
    • when more or other parameters are needed, use the standard form |image={{igen|A|+|<|gd|&|s=m|...

    The following specifications are equivalent:

    • |image=Q/0
    • |image={{Igen/map|Q/0}}
