The template automatically sets the following categories: Images with major inaccuracies

Usage

{{Inaccurate |1= }}

The template should only be used when inaccuracies are:

  • Undisputed
  • Major

and where they

  • disqualify the image from use to illustrate a topic
  • are not grounds for immediate deletion

If this template is used a message should be left on the talk page, as described in the template: “See the talk page for further information.” If aspects are merely disputed use the template: {{Factual accuracy}} instead.

TemplateData

TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.


Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either ‎useTemplateData=1 or ‎useTemplateData=only on the ‎/doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. ‎<nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.

Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw ‎<templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.
