Documentation for the template: Author Image Data
Purpose
This template is to be placed on the image description page of a book, magazine, or other publication cover image used under fair use.
Usage
Call this template as:
{{Author Image Data
|Name=<Name of author> (person shown in picture)
|Photographer=<Person who took the picture>
|Source=<source of image>
|Publication=<Where and when was this image published>
|Replaceable=<Why this image can not be repalced by a freely licensed image> (example: "The person is dead.")
|Resolution=<nnn x mmm>
|LowRes=<YesOrNo>
}}
All parameter names have an inital 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.
Parameter definitions
Parameter | Description | Default |

Name | Should specify the name of the person whose image is being displayed. | Required Field |
Photographer | Should specify the name of the person who took the picture | If omitted, defaults to "Unknown". |
