Template:Information

From RetroTechCollection

This template renders the provenance block at the top of a file description page. It is the wiki's record of where a file came from and under what terms, so every uploaded image, schematic and manual should carry one.

{{Information
|Description = What the file shows, and why it matters to the guides that use it.
|Source      = Where it came from, with a URL where one exists.
|Date        = Date of the original work, where known.
|Author      = Who made it. For manufacturer material, name the manufacturer.
|License     = The licence, or an honest statement that the rights remain with
                the rights holder and the file is hosted for identification and
                repair reference.
}}

Parameter names are accepted in either case, and Licence, License and Permission are interchangeable. Leave a parameter out rather than guessing at it — a blank row is honest, an invented author is not.
