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 above is entered the image defaults to "Category:Other images that should use vector graphics".
The following parameter values are acceptable:
| Parameter value | Used for... | Category |
|---|---|---|
| alphabet | character images, font examples, etc. | category |
| art | simple images based on artwork, or otherwise related to art | category |
| biology | animal/plant diagrams, human anatomy, anything biological in nature | category |
| chemical | only for structural formulae, especially skeletal formulae | category |
| chemistry | for all other chemistry related images | category |
| circuit | electronic circuit diagrams, etc. | category |
| coat of arms | coats of arms | category |
| diagram | diagrams that do not fit any other subcategory | category |
| emblem | deprecated use 'coat of arms', 'icon', 'logo', 'military insignia' or 'symbol' instead | category |
| flag | flags | category |
| graph | visual plots of data | category |
| icon | icons, generally ones you could see being used as computer desktop icons, otherwise 'symbol' may be better | category |
| logo | logos, or images intended to be logos | category |
| map | maps | category |
| military insignia | military insignia | category |
| musical notation | musical scales, notes, etc. | category |
| physical | ??? supposedly for "realistic images of physical objects, people, etc." but has been used more for physical science diagrams | category |
| symbol | usually simple arrangements of lines and shapes, use 'icon' if it looks like a desktop icon | category |
| text | Anything that is better represented as simple text. | |
| --- | any other parameter given will default to an 'other' category | category |
This scheme still needs some work. Suggestions welcomed.
[edit] Autotranslation
To create a new language version of this template, create a new subpage and use this code:
{{Convert to SVG/layout
|text={{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|File|This {{{1|}}} image|All images in this {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Category|category|gallery}}}} should be recreated '''using vector graphics as an [[w:Scalable Vector Graphics|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 {{tlp|vector version available|''new image name''.svg}}.
|lang={{subst:SUBPAGENAME}}
}}<noinclude>
{{translated tag|cleanup}}
</noinclude>
