Template:Metadata from image
|
Textual information (e.g. timestamp) once visible in the image itself has been moved into the image metadata and/or image description page. This makes the image easier to reuse and more language-neutral, and makes the text easier to process and search for. Commons discourages placing visible textual information in images. All licenses accepted on Commons permit this type of modification as a derivative work.
If attribution information were removed and the image is not public domain, replace this tag with {{Attribution metadata from licensed image}}.

History and usage notes
This template originally stemmed from discussion regarding our legal ability to remove watermarks from images bearing the {{Watermark}} tag:
- User_talk:Dcoetzee#Watermark_copyright_removal
- en:Wikipedia_talk:Copyright_problems#Overprinted_copyright_notices_on_GFDL_and_CC-BY_images
Because of the terms of licenses such as GFDL and CC-BY regarding author attribution, we need to pay special attention to licensed non-public domain images where we removed an author's name, e-mail, website, or signature. For these, instead use the {{Attribution metadata from licensed image}} template, which puts images in the subcategory Category:Attribution metadata from licensed image.
The template takes no parameters.
