Template:Vector version available/doc

Note: This template is used on a lot of pages. In order not to put too much load on the servers, edits should be kept to a bare minimum. Please discuss proposed changes on the talk page first. Afterwards, changes can initially be done at and tested with Template:Vector version available/sandbox: []. Editing a template causes all pages that use the template to be re-rendered. If the template is used often, this can put a lot of load on the servers since it fills up the job queue. Keep in mind that templates that are used on file description pages also show up on other wikis.

This subpage contains documentation, categories, or other content that is not part of the template.

File name

If the names of the bitmap and vector files are identical except for the file extension, the first parameter may be left empty (see Autoreferencing templates).

Each parameter may, but does not need to, include the "File:" or "Image:" namespace prefix and/or the ".svg" file extension. Any other recognized extension will be replaced by ".svg".

The template will give an error message and add the maintenance category Vector version available/error if any of the specified files does not exist.

For quick insert (and replace) you can use a user-script (the first highlighted line could be redundant):

var ns = mw.config.get('wgNamespaceNumber'), ti = mw.config.get('wgTitle');
if (ns === 14 || (ns === 6 && !/SVG/i.test(ti.slice(-3)))
    importScript('User:Perhelion/fixconverttosvg.js'); // Automatic CONVERT-TO-SVG tags:
