Converted to SVG.svg All images in this gallery could 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}}.

Documentation


Images bearing this template are automatically added to Category:Images that should use vector graphics, a subcategory of Category:Images for cleanup. The type of the image (such as "flag") may be given as a parameter, and then the image will be added to a sub-category page (e.g. Category:Flag images that should use vector graphics). If any other value than those listed lower is entered the image defaults to "Category:Other images that should use vector graphics".
