Template:Information/doc

From Eamon Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The information template creates a standardized table that provides information about a source or a file, including a description of what it shows, when it was made, origin, and copyright status.

Parameters

Here is an example of the template as it would be used for a file:

{{Information
|description    = A map of [[Tom Zuchowski]]'s adventure ''[[Assault on Dolni Keep]]''.
|source         = [[Huw Williams]]
|date           = 12 August {{Year|2021}}
|author         = Huw Williams
|license        = {{LicensePermitted}}
|other_versions = 
}}

Description

This should be a brief description of the source or file. If it's a screenshot that includes text, it's good to transcribe that text into the description using the screenquote template.

Source

This is the place where the item came from. If it came from a website, include a link to the site.

Date

Use the date when the item was originally created (not the date you uploaded it).

Author

This is the original creator(s) of the item.

License

See Wiki:Copyrights for a list of license types.

Other versions

If the Wiki has another closely-related version of the item (like the same image but in another format, cropped differently, etc.), use this parameter to include a link to it.

If linking to a file, always remember to start the link with a colon like so: [[:File:The Beginners Cave intro.png]].

Previous

If the item is one is an ordered series of items, you can use this to show a link to the previous item in the series.

Next

As above, but links to the next item in the series.
