Template documentation
(this part of the documentation is only available in some languages)
Please give full information for the Date, Source and Author fields. The date of a photograph must be when the original photograph was created, and not the date of upload, nor the date of any scan or other derivative action. If the photographic image has been modified please give author, date and license for each modification. Please use template {{Painting}} if the image is of a painting or other two dimensional artwork.
This template is used to provide formatting to the basic information for files (file content, license, authorship information etc.). This template is automatically inserted by the Javascript-aided upload tool too.
For a full usage description of the template, see Commons:First steps/Quality and description.
For representations of two-dimensional artworks please consider using {{Painting}} instead of {{Information}}.

Optionally, it can include the {{Photographer}} (soon also {{Creator}}) as an attendee and an hCard microformat, and use the contents of {{Description}} as the hCalendar's "description" property. Coordinates may be included by use of {{Location}}, {{Location dec}} or {{Object location}}.
