Template:Sig Image Data-Int/Doc
Documentation for the template: Sig Image Data-Int (transcluded from Template:Sig Image Data-Int/Doc
Purpose
This template is to be placed on the image description page of an enlargement of an artist's signature from interior art published in a book, magazine, or other publication. The image should be cropped to just the signature. This template is for cases where the image is used under fair use.
Usage
A minimal call (omitting parameters that can safely be left to their defaults) to the template would be:
{{Sig Image Data-Int
|Title=<publication title>
|Edition=<date and/or publisher>
|Pub=<the publication record number or tag>
|Publisher=<Name of publisher>
|Artist=<name of cover artist>
|Source=<origin of image>
}}
A maximal call, including all parameters, would be:
{{Sig Image Data-Int
|Title=<publication title>
|Edition=<date and/or publisher>
|Pub=<the publication record number or tag>
|Publisher=<Name of publisher>
|Artist=<name of cover artist>
|ArtistId=<id of cover artist>
|CpyrtHolder=<name of the actual copyright holder>
|Source=<origin of image>
|AddRat=<Additional fair use rationale>
}}
All parameter names have an initial capitol 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Title | Should specify the actual title of the book or other publication in which the image being displayed was published. | Required Field |
| Edition | Ideally should specify the year and publisher, as "Ace 1983", or some other text string which will distinguish the specified edition from other publications of the same title. | Required Field |
| Pub | The publication record number or tag. Must be a valid argument to {{P}}. (Id may be used as an alias for Pub, with the same effect.) |
Strongly encouraged. No default. |
| Publisher | Should specify the name of the publisher of the publication displayed, for proper attribution. | Required Field |
| Artist | The name of the artist, if known. | If omitted, defaults to "Unknown". Links to the artist's DB page unless the artist is "Unknown". |
| ArtistId | The record number of the cover artist, if known. Used to link to artist summary page via the record number when artist's name has characters (single quotes, non-ASCII) that cause linking by name to fail. In order for this field to work, the "Artist" field also has to be filled in. | Defaults to unused. |
| Source | Website where the image was obtained, or name or handle of user who scanned the image. | If omitted, defaults to "Unknown". |
| AddRat | Additional rationale. Any text spelling out additional reasons why this image qualifies for fair use. | Defaults to blank. Should be omitted unless there is an additional rationale to specify. |

Categories
This template places all pages it is used on into Category:Fair use images and Category:Artist Signature Images. It will also place each page into an Author and a Publisher category, the names being derived from the appropriate parameters. If the Pub parameter is not supplied, the image is also placed in Category:Signature images without publication links.
