 | name = Information
 | desc = '''Please give full information for the ''description'', ''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 scanning or digitizing. If the photographic image has been modified please give author, date and license for each modification. Please use template {{tl|Artwork}} or {{tl|Art photo}} if the image is of a painting, sculpture or other artwork and {{tl|Book}} if the image is a part of a complete set of page scans of a book (or in the case of DjVu and PDF, one file may comprise all the pages).

{{Nobold|This template is used to provide formatting to the basic information for files (description, source, author, etc.), and it is automatically inserted by the upload tools. All the field names are not case sensitive.<!-- The template is able to access information in [[commons:com:SDC|Structured Data on Commons]] (SDC), so if proper SDC data is used some or even all the fields can be ommited.-->}}

For a full usage description of the template, see [[Commons:First steps/Quality and description]].

 | namespace = File
 | usergroup = all

 | 1 = description
 | 1aliases  = Description
 | 1d-en = Description of the image or other media file. The '''content''' of the description should provide brief (if possible) but complete information about the image. It should:
* Identify subject like notable people (use {{tl|Depicted person}} template), animals, objects, cars, weapons, etc.
* Identify location (if relevant) by text, like: city, country, building name or address, etc.
* Note that location coordinates are not directly included as separate field in the "Information" template. Template {{tl|location}} (for camera location and heading, preferred) and/or {{tl|object location}} (for the depicted objects) should be used. Template {{tl|location}} should be placed directly above or below {{tl|Information}}.<br /><small>Note: some users prefer to include location template(s) into the "Description" field of {{tl|Information}} template in order to group all location information together—this solution is fully serviceable but objections are in point of graphic design not ideal adjusted for such use. See [[Template talk:Information/Archive 2#Location template|this]] discussion and also [[Template talk:Information/Archive 2#Suggestions|this]] one.</small>
* In general, description should provide information to support all subject categories of the file.
* In case of group pictures or other images where image details might warrant separate description please use [[Commons:Image annotations|image annotations]], but remember that those annotations might not be visible on Wikipedias which did not adopt the gadget to display them.
The description '''format''' should use:
* {{C|Language templates}} like {{tl|en}} or {{tl|de}} to specify the language of the description.
* [[:w:Hyperlink|Wikilinks]] to Wikipedia articles, [[Commons:Galleries|Commons galleries]] or [[Commons:Categories|Commons categories]]. This helps with disambiguation and allows shorter format.
When the ''name of the file'' is enough descriptive that it could be used in the file description without alteration, the short notation [[Template:F/doc#descr|<nowiki>{{F|F}}</nowiki>]] can be used (with or without additional text) e.g. <code><nowiki>|description={{en|{{F|F}}.}}</nowiki></code>
An alternative or complement to this field is a [[com:File_captions|structured data caption]].
 | 1d-td-en = Description of the image or media file, including subject and location.

 | 2=date
 | 2aliases = Date
 | 2d-en = Date of creation, when the original source (such as photograph of 3-D scene, digital file, or original 2-D artwork, or SVG drawing) was created. Possible '''formats:'''<!--Keep an empty paragraph between this para and the list start to avoid borking the formatting inside a table:-->

* [[:en:ISO 8601|ISO 8601]] is the preferred format, e.g. "2006-01-15" for "15 January 2006". Dates following this format are processed by {{tl|ISOdate}}. The following formats are recognized:
** YYYY
** YYYY-MM
** YYYY-MM-DD
** YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm<ref name="d">Date should be a date, preferred without any timestamping</ref>
** YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss<ref name="d"/>
* Use {{tl|other date}} for less precise dates, like: circa…, after…, spring of…, between…, etc.
* It is possible to use {{tl|date}} template. For example "<code>date=2008-06-09</code>" is equivalent to "<code>date={{tlx|date|2008|6|9}}</code>", but [[:en:ISO 8601|ISO 8601]] format is preferred.<br /> In many cases multiple dates and/or extra explanations are required:
* For photos, we have special templates {{tl|Taken on}} and {{tl|Taken in}} to indicate when the photograph was taken and to distinguish it from the creation date of the depicted work, or from the creation date of the derivative work (modified or cropped photo, collage etc.). Those templates use ISO format (e. g. {{tld|Taken on|YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm}} or {{tld|Taken in|YYYY}}).
* If the date is missing, but the digital file has [[:en:EXIF|EXIF]] data, then the {{tl|According to EXIF data}} template can be added (usually done by a [[Commons:Bots|bot]]). The templates use the ISO format (e. g. {{tld|According to EXIF data|YYYY-MM-DD}}).
* If the creation date of a file moved from other project is unknown, {{tl|Original upload date}} can be used — this template should be also used (in addition) if the first publication date (outside Commons) is relevant in relation to copyright. This template also uses the ISO format.
* If the creation date of a file (not moved from other project) is unknown, {{tl|Upload date}} can be used. This template also uses the ISO format.
* If the file is a modified or derivative work, then both the date of the original (source) work and the date of the last version (derivative work) should be stated with appropriate comments or notes.
* If the date has to be furnished with some specifying text, not covered by one of the above templates, (e. g. "date of creation", "date of the first publication", "date of modification" etc.) then dates have to be specified using {{tl|ISOdate}} (i.e. {{tld|ISOdate|2009-08-18}} (''date of creation'')) or {{tl|date}} (i.e. {{tld|date|2008|6|9}} (''date of modification'')) templates.
* If the file is not a simple copy of the depicted work, the date or year of the creation of the depicted work should be stated rather in the "description" field.

Possible content:<!--Keep an empty paragraph between this para and the list start to avoid borking the formatting inside a table:-->

* {{tl|own}} for works uploaded by the author
* {{tl|own based}} for works based on other <u>images</u> already on Commons. This template takes its own parameters for the names of the files on which the image is based, and is used thus: {{tld|own based|name of first file.jpg|name of second file.svg}}
* {{tl|own using}} (no parameters) may alternatively be used to indicate the (data) source used to generate a diagram, e.g. [[:en:URL|URL]] where the file was found on the web, i.e. its url or its web address, etc.
* {{tl|sf}} for photos created by the author
* {{tl|private correspondence}} for previously unpublished works uploaded at the behest of a third party who wishes to remain confidential (such works must be connected with an [[Commons:Volunteer Response Team|VRT ticket]] and the tag {{tlsx|OP}} should be added to the file after an email with a permission statement has been sent to VRTS)
* {{tl|Derived from}} when it is derived from other files, a list of those files
* Book reference (using {{tl|scan}} and {{tl|Cite book}} templates) for images scanned from a book. If image was scanned by the uploader that should be mentioned too: {{tl|own scan}}
* {{tl|Transferred from}} for works transferred from Wikipedia

This field should ''not be used'' to specify the name of the person who is the scanner, finder, or uploader of the image – these things do not make that person the author. Possible content:

== Example usage ==
=== Example for photograph ===
For example the source code of the description of photograph [[:File:Piers Sellers spacewalk.jpg]] is:

{{pre2|scroll|<nowiki>
{{Information
 | Description =
{{en|Astronaut [[w:Piers Sellers|Piers Sellers]] during the third spacewalk of STS-121, a demonstration of orbiter heat shield repair techniques.}}
</nowiki>}}

The code hereinbefore produces the following information table:

{{Information
 | Description =
{{en|Astronaut [[w:Piers Sellers|Piers Sellers]] during the third spacewalk of STS-121, a demonstration of orbiter heat shield repair techniques.}}
 | Date = 2006-07-12
 | Source = [http://www.nasa.gov/news/highlights/index.html NASA News & Events] – http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/121_gallery/hi-resjpgs/14.jpg, from http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/121_gallery/index_noaccess.html
 | Author = NASA, astronaut [[w:Michael E. Fossum|Michael Edward Fossum]]
 | Permission =
 | Other versions =
}}
<!--
=== Example of files using SDC ===
When files use [[commons:com:SDC|SDC]] than the content of the template can be reduced to <code><nowiki>{{Information}}</nowiki></code>. See for example:
*[[:File:OpenRefine Commons editing - wikitext data extension.png]] where <code><nowiki>{{Information}}</nowiki></code>

will produce:

{{Information|sdc=M143639467}}

*[[:File:Indoor Climbing Kid.jpg]] where <code><nowiki>{{Information}}</nowiki></code>

will produce:

{{Information|sdc=M4184419}}
-->
=== Example other_fields ===
Example using the ''other fields'' parameter to display a [[Commons:Credit line|credit line]]:
<pre>{{Information
 | Description = Description
 | Date = 2008-06-09
 | Source = {{own}}
 | Author = John Doe
 | Other fields = {{Credit line |Author = © John Doe | Other = Wikimedia Commons |License = CC-BY-3.0 & GFDL}}
}}</pre>

will produce:

{{Information
 | Description = Description
 | Date = 2008-06-09
 | Source = {{own}}
 | Author = John Doe
 | Other fields = {{Credit line |Author = © John Doe | Other = Wikimedia Commons |License = CC-BY-3.0 & GFDL}}
}}

== Microformat ==
This template also emits an [[W:HCalendar|hCalendar]] [[W:microformat|microformat]] marking the creation of the image as an event. To do this, it requires the {{tl|Date}} template, and takes the file name as the "summary" property. Optionally, it can include an [[w:HCard|hCard]] microformat, and use the contents of {{tl|Description}} as the hCalendar's "description" property.

See also [[Commons:Machine-readable data]].

* {{tl|Book}} for specialized infobox template used for book page scans
