This template is used in the |source= parameter of the {{Information}} template to render the words “own work using:” in the language specified in the user’s preferences. The intended use is to state the software used to create the file or the (data) source used to generate it.

Note

When the file name of a file is the same it will be enough just to specify the file type by e.g.

• .png (or short: .p or shorter: .)
• .jpg (or short: .j)
• .gif (or short: .g)
• .svg (or short: .s)
• .tif (or short: .t)
• .xcf (or short: .x)
• .pdf (or any other extension - case sensitive)

Example: {{ Own using | .j }}. 0 or see 4CVNK.svg
If a file name starts with a dot, prefixing it with a namespace like File:.Xyz.jpeg can avoid conflicts. See a complete description of the replacement.

{{Own using|Example.jpg|.tiff}} renders as: Own work using: Example.jpg and Example.tiff

{{Own using|Example.svg | . | .j | .g }} renders as: Own work using: Example.svg, Example.png, Example.jpg and Example.gif

Pseudo file names

Like a file name can be specified, preferably at the last positions

• + or - (a plus sign, or a minus sign) to require the display with namespace(s)

{{Own using|Example.jpg|–}} renders as: Own work using: File:Example.jpg

• × (the multiplication sign) to avoid the conjunctional "and" before the last file name:

{{Own using|Example.jpg|.s|.g|×}} renders as: Own work using: Example.jpg, Example.svg, Example.gif

• x or X (an "x", lower or upper case) to enable the textual description of other bases:

{{Own using|Example.svg|Example.jpg|by1=example|x}} more using_on
renders as:
Own work using: Example.svg by example, Example.jpg and more using_on

Because of many transclusions with wrong file names, now a workaround is made that when only one file is specified,
and with either "[" or "{" as the first character, it won't be handled by the module and Template:F but directly displayed.

By

Parameter by displays a user name after the file[s] display. Instead of single user ids, Userlists can be specified.
If parameter[s] by1 or b1 [by2/b2, ...] is[are] used, each such user name is displayed immediately after that file;
when parameter b1 is used (with or without a value), each file is displayed at a new line.
