Template:Author Image Data/Doc
Documentation for the template: Author Image Data
Purpose
This template is to be placed on the image description page of a photograph of a person (author, editor, or the like) used under fair use.
Usage
Call this template as:
{{Author Image Data
|Name=<Name of author> (person shown in picture)
|NameId=<id of author> (only required for names with characters that break Template:A)
|Photographer=<Person who took the picture>
|Source=<where did we get the image from>
|Publication=<Where and when was this image published>
|Portion=<How much of the image was used, if not the whole>
|Replaceable=<Why this image can not be replaced by a freely licensed image> (example: "The person is dead.")
|LowRes=<YesOrNo>
}}
All parameter names have an initial capital letter. Case is significant in a parameter name. The order of the parameters is not significant, but the order above is suggested, as it is the order of use within the template.
Note: In all the above examples, when a parameter is shown in angle brackets, like:
<Parameter>
then the parameter, and the angle brackets, should be replaced by the value of the parameter. For example: Title=<TITLE>
should become Title=The Name of the Book
(or whatever the name might be).
Parameter definitions
Parameter | Description | Default |
---|---|---|
Name | Should specify the name of the person whose image is being displayed. | Required Field |
NameId | The record number of the person. Used to link to person's summary page via the record number when person's name has characters (single quotes, non-ASCII) that cause linking by name to fail. In order for this field to work, the "Name" field also has to be filled in. | Defaults to unused. |
Photographer | Should specify the name of the person who took the picture | If omitted, defaults to "Unknown". |
Source | Website or publication where the image was obtained, or name or handle of user who scanned the image. | If omitted, defaults to "Unknown". |
Publication | where and when this image was published. If multiple publications are known, specify the first. | If omitted, defaults to "Unknown". |
Portion | what part of the original image was used. Mention any cropping here. | Defaults to "The entire image." |
Replaceable | Statement of why this image could not be replaced with one used with permission or under a free license. | Defaults to "The image could be replaced by a freely licensed image." |
LowRes | Should normally be "Yes", to indicate that this is a relatively low-res image. If the value is "Yes" a statement to this effect is displayed. If the value is "No", or if the parameter is omitted, a warning text will be displayed instead. Values other than "Yes" or "No" will cause the template to malfunction. | Defaults to "No" |
