About

A personal credit box template for the use with my (own) photographs. It is currently available in English, German and Polish. This template should be used directly below the general {{Information}} template, because it builds a special information box on its own; if we don’t add a blank line in between, the new box is visually merged with the {{Information}} box. Very nice!

Some hints about the implementation

  • Around the individual {{Information field}} entries we put a <table> ... </table> element. This table gets the same CSS classes and some other attributes as the regular {{Information}} template or as the {{Location}} template. Using these CSS classes allows the additional information fields to be merged visually with the main Information box, just as e.g. the {{Location}} templates does. It also enables some other functions – e.g. in mobile display on small screens the table automatically switches to a single-column display.
  • It would be wise to check from time to time whether the CSS classes and attributes used in the {{Location}} template have been changed; then it could be necessary to update this template accordingly.
  • The localization for the ‘Attribution’ field uses the same code as the {{Credit line}} template: {{int:wm-license-cc-attribution|}}<br/><small>({{I18n/Credit line}})</small>; so look out if that line in the {{Credit line}} template or if any of the subtemplates used there changes, because this may force us to update this template, too.
