Commons:Templates

From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository

(Redirected from Commons:Template messages)

This project page in other languages:

Templates are used to add recurring messages to pages in a consistent way, to create navigational boxes, and to provide cross-language portability of texts. The content of a template can be added to a page by typing {{templatename}}. The "Template:" prefix doesn't need to be included. The first character (only) is not case-sensitive, so {{delete}} and {{Delete}} are the same.

In the gallery namespace (also referred to as mainspace, the main namespace, or the article namespace in Wikipedia), templates exist only to help readers. These can include navigation aids and warnings that content is sub-standard. Templates that provide information only of service to editors belong on a gallery's talk page.

If you wish to experiment with templates, you may do so in the Commons:Sandbox.

All images in this gallery should be recreated using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is already available, please upload it. After uploading an SVG, replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name.svg}}.

Category:Images that should use vector graphics

{{PNG}}
links talk view

This image was uploaded in a format such as GIF or JPEG. It could be stored, however, in the PNG format which supports lossless compression and transparency. Because the PNG format supports lossless compression, edits made to PNG files do not reduce their quality. If possible, please upload a PNG version of this image. After doing so, please replace all instances of the previous version throughout Commons (noted under the "File links" header), and remove this tag. For more information, see Commons:Preparing images for upload.

Category:Images which should be in PNG format

{{badSVG}}

All the SVG images in this gallery contain embedded raster graphics. Such images are liable to produce inferior results when scaled to different sizes. If appropriate to do so, they should be replaced with images created using vector graphics.

{{badGIF}}
links talk view

This image was (or all images in this article or category were) uploaded in the GIF format, while a different format would have been more suitable. Commons discourages the use of GIF files, except for animations. See Commons:File types for more information.

If possible, please upload a PNG version (or JPEG for some photos) of this image, and mark the GIF image as {{superseded|Image:new image name}}. If you like, encourage other Wikimedia projects using the GIF to use the new version instead.

If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with {{convert to SVG}} instead of {{badGIF}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{convert to PNG}}.

This image was uploaded in the PNG, GIF, or other lossless image format. However, it contains visible lossy compression artifacts. These artifacts may have come from the JPEG format or from saving a colorful image in the GIF format instead of the PNG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image, derived from a non-lossy source so that it doesn't contain any compression artifacts (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please replace all instances of the artifacted version throughout Wikimedia projects, tag the old version with {{obsolete|Image:NewImage.ext}}, and remove this tag. For more information, see Wikipedia:Preparing images for upload.

{{remove border}}

This image (or all images in this article or category) may need to have its border removed. Where borders are desired they should be added with wikimarkup or code.

Any text from the border should be included in the image description. If the border contains author and license information, this may also be embedded in the file itself and the tag, {{metadata from image}}, should be added.

If cropping a JPEG, consider using a lossless cropping tool such as jpegtran. For more help, see Commons:Media for cleanup.

This image (or all images in this article or category) needs to have its caption removed. Where captions are desired they should be added with wikimarkup or as thumbnails.

Please ensure that you include the text of the removed captions(s) on the image page. If the caption contains author or license information, add it to the file's EXIF information and add the {{Metadata from image}} tag.
If cropping a JPEG, consider using a lossless cropping tool such as jpegtran. [1] For more help, see Commons:Media for cleanup.

{{watermark}}

This image contains digital watermarking or credits in the image itself. This image (or all images in this article or category) should be adapted by removing the watermark. The usage of watermarks is discouraged according to policy. If a non-watermarked version of the image is available, please upload it under the same file name and then remove this template. After removing the watermark, ensure that the removed information is present in the EXIF tags, the image description page, or both.

If the old version is still useful, for example if removing the watermark damages the image significantly, upload the new version under a different title so that both can be used (e.g. [[File:Mount_Everest.jpg]] → [[File:Mount_Everest - no watermark.jpg]]. After uploading the non-watermarked version, replace this template with: {{superseded|File:Mount Everest - no watermark.jpg|image without watermarks}}, replacing the italicised name with the file name in question.
