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 cover artist> (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 author, if known. Used to link to author summary page via the record number when author'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"
